Still radical. 'Michael Webb: Two Journeys' releases this week.

"Suitaloon" is reproduced from Michael Webb: Two Journeys, the first comprehensive monograph on the radical artist/architect and founder of the 60s avant-garde group, Archigram. Explaining this 2002 reprise of his "Cushicle/Suitaloon" car/house/clothing concept, ongoing since 1967, Webb writes, "The aim here is to have the figure meld visually with the inflated chaise longue, hence the need for her to have a bald head. The deflated chaise turns into a more normal garment, rather like a bag that can be drawn tight at the neck, except the neck of the bag is over her tummy. As the vehicle elevates to a vertical position the neck loosens so that she may step out of her garment."
