Making Space: Conversation with Jacolby Satterwhite

Founded in 1977, The Fabric Workshop and Museum both makes and presents, encouraging artists to experiment with new materials and new media in a veritable living laboratory. Through its renowned Artist-in-Residence (AIR) Program, FWM collaborates with artists to expand their practices, while documenting the course of artistic production from inspiration to realization. Today, FWM is the only US institution devoted to creating work in textile and new media in collaboration with some of the most significant artists of our time. Presenting large scale exhibitions, installations, and performative works, FWM seeks to bring this spirit of artistic investigation and discovery to the wider public. In addition to complete works of art, FWM’s permanent collection also includes material research, samples, and prototypes. Serving as an educational center for Philadelphia’s youth from the outset, FWM remains dedicated to developing programs and opportunities for local students and emerging artists, advancing the role of art as catalyst for innovation and social connection.

In this discussion led by FWM Curator Karen Patterson, artist Jacolby Satterwhite will be joined by art historian Jack McGrath and Stuart Comer, Chief Curator of the Department of Media and Performance at The Museum of Modern Art. Each esteemed panelist will ruminate on the importance of making space – be it physical, virtual, or metaphorical – in this important new body of work.Satterwhite works in an interdisciplinary space that includes dance, performance, drawing and digital media. Fabricating the virtual, performing personal narratives, building cyborg utopia, and queering the ordinary will be just a few prompts for this esteemed panel, as they delve into the space needed for each. This conversation will be a complement to Jacolby Satterwhite’s solo museum exhibition, Room for Living, at The Fabric Workshop and Museum and You&#x27;re at home, his concurrent solo exhibition at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn.
