Presenting DUALITY: AIR Cycle 8 Final Exhibition
|
The Textile Arts Center is pleased to present DUALITY, the final exhibition of the 8th cycle of Artists in Residence, on view from October 19th to the 22nd at Gowanus Loft in Brooklyn.
DUALITY “Understanding not as concepts of Either/Or but as And/Also: Simultaneously existing, with many ways of viewing and understanding.”
DUALITY presents the work developed by the seven artists in residence at the Textile Arts Center, from October 2016 to June 2017. During the 9 month residency, using fiber as a medium and/or starting point, the artists researched and explored the dichotomies present in their work and within the group, addressing concepts of time, transformation, materiality, space, intimacy and potentiality.
Artists in DUALITY are ANDREW BOOS, ISABELLA AMSTRUP, MARTHA SKOU, MIA DANIELS, REBEKAH BASSEN, SARAH FINKLE, and VIEN LE WOOD. Learn more about the artists HERE. Gowanus Loft
