The Chicago Art Department has been continuously good to me, Mike Nourse recently passed my name on to Marwen in Chicago and I'm very excited to see what this show has installed.
Marwen's
Fiber/Optics
25 June - 23 July, 2010
A group exhibition in Marwen's Untitled Gallery demonstrating the concurrent evolution of fiber arts and technology. Although we look at many textile and fiber arts as a hands-on analog process, artists have brilliantly integrated progressive technology into their process and design. The very definition of technology has evolved over time to exclude processes once considered cutting edge. The exhibition hopes to examine innovations in textile and fiber arts technique across a continuum. Current technological innovations are intersecting and influencing how we use, see, wear, and create art with textiles and fibers. From the traditional to the experimental, we hope to procure artists working in the most fundamental of processes as well as those creating techno-fibers wired for the most techno savvy.
Here is a quick sketch to give you an idea of what's to come...
