Refuse/re-seen Fiber Philadelphia
One of the favorite materials that comes into ZeroLandfill is fabric. The material comes in as 2″ x 2″ samples up to one yard sample cuts. Fabric goes back out into the community as quickly as it comes in a project sites door. So the question I have is “What are you creating with it?”
Here is an opportunity to show it to larger community, in a venue during Fiber Philadelphia. Fiber Philadelphia is an international biennial and regional festival for innovative fiber art. Venues all over Philly and the surrounding area feature fiber art exhibitions from March through June. Refuse/re-seen is a exhibition that
…encourages artists working in fiber to become infatuated with the idea of exploring the possibilities of this disposable and disregarded stuff as the basis for this submission. Our challenge for fiber artists everywhere is to take the most ordinary, non-precious and every day materials and to create the most extraordinary. The reuse of every conceivable material is already imbedded in the psyches of many working artists today. This exhibit will require the use of materials which are not durable and are normally considered ephemeral and short lived.
Applications are due on February 25. Take a look at the prospectus. Tell us if you are juried into Refuse/re-seen. We want to highlight your achievements here.
