Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at PSU

Join us for the opening reception for the exhibition Weaving Data.

Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Portland State University

Featured Artists: Faig Ahmed, April Bey, Jovencio de la Paz, Ahree Lee, Kayla Mattes, Shelley Socolofsky, Joan Truckenbrod, Vo Vo, and Sarah WertzbergerJoin us for the opening reception for the exhibition Weaving Data curated by Theo Downes-Le Guin and Nancy Downes-Le Guin. Perhaps more than any other artistic medium, weaving sits at an intersection of technology, gender, race, and class norms. As a medium that is both craft and art, weaving also challenges what is deemed fine art, and who decides. In different ways, the nine artists featured in this exhibition investigate the complex relationship between weaving and computing. Some use data analysis, while others use metaphor. Some collaborate with computers to make their weavings; others weave by hand, but use data or internet memes as a basis for woven patterns. Regardless of approach, these artists remind us that we all have a say in deciding which technologies and cultural values we choose to elevate.This program is free and open to the public. ASL interpreting will be provided.Exhibition, education, and outreach programs have been made possible by a grant from The Ford Family Foundation. This exhibition is supported by the Oregon Cultural Trust.Accessibility initiatives have been made possible by a grant from the Richard &amp; Helen Phillips Charitable Fund to the JSMA Community Access Fund.I﻿mage: Faig Ahmed, Gautama (detail), 2017, Edition 3/3, Handmade woolen carpet, 112 x 149 inches, © Faig Ahmed.
