10/05/2017 12:01 AMThree Madison artists will display their work at The Fabric of Cultures: Systems in the Making exhibition Thursday, Oct. 5 to Friday, Dec. 15, with an opening reception on Thursday, Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. at the Queens College Art Center, Benjamin S. Rosenthal Library, 6th Floor, 65-30 Kissena Boulevard, Flushing, New York.
The exhibit is designed to bring together artists, designers, City University of New York (CUNY) students, and local communities to reflect on the art of making, craftsmanship, and technology in today’s globalized world. The exhibition calls attention to larger systems at play that influence the state of fashion, craft, and aesthetics constantly under development and in flux. This exhibition considers the new Made in Italy in a transnational context and in conversation with other cultures, traditions, and technologies.
Madison resident Eugenia Paulicelli, professor and director of Fashion Studies, Italian Studies, and Comparative Literature at Queens College and The Graduate Center, City University of New York is the curator of the exhibit. Artists Paula Gabriel, Shelby Head, and Lady McCrady—all of them based in Madison—will have their works on display in the exhibit.
“I...have known Paula, Shelby, and Lady for a long time and admired their work. I found that their work was very in tone with the concept pursued by the exhibit,” Paulicelli says.
The Fabric of Cultures is part of a larger, partly digital, pedagogic, and research project directed Paulicelli. For more information, visit tinyurl.com/y7q2cn5k and tinyurl.com/ya5bwam5.
