The Visitor Center Artist Camp
Do you want to live outdoors and make sculpture with molten metal, clay that you gathered from the earth, or a tree that you ripped at a sawmill? This is the place for you! The Visitor Center Artist Camp offers unique 2-week workshops in Local Clay, Metal Casting, and host artists from across the country for independent project residencies in conjunction with the Sustainable Practices Symposium. We have also partnered with a local sawmill to offer the unique experience of working in wood from tree to finished work. Our programming is for all skill-levels of adults and centered around skill-building and skill-sharing, examining sustainability in life and art, and engagement with the resourceful community of Ewen and the surrounding natural environment. Highlights of the Symposium include: Participation in an exhibition, artist talks, lecture series, and the Ewen Arts Festival, team design-and-build workshops, and thorough outdoor immersion. Deadlines for Applications: May 15th, 2015 (extended to June 1st) Apply Online: www.visitorcenterartistcamp.com
CLASSROOM CLEANOUT: You’ve been warned!
Classroom Cleanout is overseen by IRFM. A team of student workers and supervisors not directly affiliated with our department oversee the process. We will not keep anything around the department or in the office if you come looking for it after 5/11. Everything will be donated to the surplus room on the 3rd floor.
Classroom Cleanout DOES include student lockers beneath the work tables in the classrooms.
If you have stuff in lockers beneath the tables, remove it BEFORE 9:00am Monday 5/11. IRFM will be cutting locks on lockers and emptying all contents to prepare for the next semester.
Classroom Cleanout DOES NOT include lockers in the hallway. If you have a locker in the hallway, you don’t need to empty those lockers. Locks in the hallway will not be cut. (TIP: if you have stuff in a locker in a classroom, move it to your hallway locker!)
A yard of printed fabric from Judith Leemann's 2013 piece reading aloud: stories about a coyote is on view in the Textile Resource Center display case through the end of the semester. The work includes 34 yards of cotton fabric printed with a transcript of 5+ hours of readings aloud.
Stain is a set of eight different spill patterns, digitally woven into fine Spanish unbleached cotton and linen napkins that, with use, will acquire an ongoing patina as evidence of conviviality. The standard of the classic white napkin is rejected in its notion of perfection as an illusion that demands unsustainable and destructive practices. "Stain" napkins embrace smears and dabs both for their beauty as well as a record of life well lived.
Photography and textiles are both built from particles, and so there is a natural collaboration between these two methodologies. With the rise of digitally interfaced production, these two material outputs are able to communicate directly. The spill patterns were digitized directly as photographic images and then returned to a material modality as they were woven into a textile. Emphatically woven into cloth, these stained motifs invite the real stains of use to build up and create new patterns of their own as they track a life lived. This notion of a stain rejects the modernist aesthetic of blank whiteness and the new, while embracing a lived history.
These aesthetic positions have a real world impact. Table linens maintain their whiteness through bleaching after each use, releasing a constant, daily flow of toxic chlorine into the environment. Embracing the aesthetic of the stain provides an alternative model where there is no need to maintain the rigid whiteness, and thus no need for daily bleaching.
We need your help to begin this change, to engage in aesthetics that speak to your ethics. What we do in our personal lives--the food we eat, whether purchased or gardened, the clothes we wear, the cleaning products we use--all have wide and deep-reaching affects on our world and all of us who inhabit planet earth. By paralleling our aesthetic choices with our political and moral beliefs we will shift our engagement with, and impact upon our planet.
This collaboration has led us to explore materiality and the relationships between art and design, photography and textiles, and our individual practices. We are two artists working on this project on our own, outside of corporate structures and funding. Your support will not only enable us to produce these napkins but will also provide the means for our continued collaboration as we explore the tensions between aesthetics and ethics in art, labor, and life.
It is impossible to overfund this project. Our minimum goal will allow us to meet the manufacturing minimum order, without which we will not be able to realize this project. Funding beyond this will not only enable us to produce more napkins, it will also provide support for the research and development of future projects. Your support is deeply meaningful, we cannot do this without you. Thank you.
The opening for the 2015 MFA Exhibition happens this Friday, April 24th, from 7-9pm! Come support the FMS Department’s grads and see some really excellent art!
Still looking for a class this summer? There are still openings in FMS’s Printed Fabrics Workshop!! Come work with industry professional printer and designer Erin Chlaghmo to gain a better understanding of print for fabrics!
