CONSCIENTIOUS CREATIONS
Radical
Lace & Subversive Knitting
Your
grandmother has probably never done this type of knitting.
This exhibition at the Museum of Arts & Design
showcases work by international artists who use fiber
in unusual ways. From microknit garments (1:144 scale)
to massive installations, these creations are made
up of traditional yarns, laces, found objects or other
mixed media. Artists experiment with form and technique,
creating everything from mini mittens to three-dimensional
free-form sculptures, and explore contemporary issues
of globalization, sexuality and identity.
When:
Jan. 25-June 17, 2007, open daily 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
Where:
Museum of Arts & Design, 40 West 53rd St., New
York.
Admission:
$9
for adults, $7 for students and seniors.
