Upcoming Exhibition: Thread Baring: A Portrayal of Masculinity One Stitch at a Time
November 19 – December 18th
Opening reception: Thursday, November 19, 5-8pm
Gallery talk with Adam Parker Smith: Friday, November 20th, 4pm
This group exhibition looks at masculinity as represented by male artists working in forms and mediums often considered to be the domain of women. Using materials like thread, yarn and felt in practices like weaving, knitting and embroidery , these visually compelling two and three-dimensional works aim to challenge preconceptions about the subject and forms of men’s art. With a literal construction of masculinity, these fiber artists present contrasts meant to perplex and intrigue.
Artists include : Youn Woo Chaa, Robert Conger, Angelo Filomeno, Craig Fisher, Kent Henricksen, Dave Cole, Mark Newport, Chris Niver, Adam Parker Smith, Paul Villinski, Michael Brennand- Wood, and Rob Wynne.
