ECOLOGY & CLOTH Weekend Workshops / April 10–13 / April 24 –27 / May 1 – 4 / May 22 –25
Spring Sessions with / Cyra Levenson / Gary Graham / Constance Old / Abby Lutz & J. Morgan Puett / others TBA.
We are passing through the first quarter of the 21st century and still not yet manifesting what should be the most important period for radical change in how we think of ecological materials for clothing ourselves and use of cloth in our everyday lives. Recycling has been the obvious turn, but we have not reached what creative thinking in cloth and design can do for the planet. This series of weekend workshops focuses on transformative questioning about how we think of cloth, clothing. adaptive reuse, collaboration, speculative, and social thinking – ‘NEXT’ aesthetics and Gallery installation in week three are part of this session. Fellows will become Resident-Artists-In-Complexity at Mildred’s Lane, Pennsylvania, and create new project works in the project space and studio in Narrowsburg, NY just across the river.
The Mildred Complex(ity) (TMC) Project Space & ANNEX – in conjunction with The Department of Inter-Stitch-iaries – Mildred’s Lane, PA., Art Site – both will feature exhibitions with this select group of artists who are design thinking forward for the 21st century.
