HIRSHHORN BALL 2020 May 30, 2020 | 7:00 pm Defy. Define. Dazzle. Step
into the future in costume. Find inspiration in the visionary artists
who challenged tradition to elevate the new. Wear your highest pumps
or your biggest wig—or both. Enjoy an open bar, dancing, and all the
fashion eye candy you could ever want. Hosted by Machine Dazzle. Strut
your stuff at the second annual HIRSHHORN BALL, a night devoted to
artistic vision and self-expression through fashion. Lauded by The
WASHINGTON Post as “a new kind of party,” this open-air
celebration marries global modern and contemporary art with DC’s
creative communities. This year, we’re stepping into the future.
Inspired by the visionary artists who saw beauty in the emerging
culture of speed, mechanization, and technology, HIRSHHORN BALL 2020
IS A CHANCE TO EXPLORE FATE THROUGH FASHION AND dress as your vision
of the future . The evening will be hosted by Machine Dazzle , the
artist and costume designer hailed by The New Yorker as “a true
theatrical genius.” His wearable sculptures have energized stages
and red carpets alike, most notably worn by performance artist Taylor
Mac during several collaborations. Fashion icons like Diane von
Furstenberg and Cara Delevigne have also sported his innovative
designs. Stay on your toes with pop-up appearances by Machine, enjoy
an open bar with specialty cocktails, transform into a dancing machine
with DJ sets under the stars, and command the runway with a costume
contest judged by D.C. icons. And it’s all for a good cause! All
proceeds go to the HIRSHHORN’s free public programs and exhibitions
that serve over one million visitors a year. Help us continue to bring
contemporary art and ideas to the National Mall. Machine Dazzle has
been dazzling stages via costumes, sets, and performances since his
arrival in New York in 1994. Credits include Julie Atlas Muz’s I Am
The Moon And and You Are The Man On Me (2004), Big Art Group’s House

With Taylor Mac, Machine has collaborated on several projects
including The Lily’s Revenge (2009), Walk Across America For Mother
Earth (2012) and the Pulitzer Prize-Nominated A 24-Decade History of
Popular Music (2016-Present). Conceptualist-as-artist meets DIY meets
“glitter rhymes with litter,” Machine was a co-recipient the 2017
Bessie Award for Outstanding Visual Design and the winner of a 2017
Henry Hewes Design Award. Get inspired. Last year’s fashion
statements were hard to top! Details Date: May 30, 2020 Time: 7:00 pm
