SUMMARY:Opportunity (reflection)
DESCRIPTION:World-renowned artist Hank Willis Thomas unveiled this monumental 10-foot tall stainless steel sculpture during Super Bowl LVII\, Arizona 2023 where it was installed in the iconic Super Bowl Experience at the Phoenix Convention Center and then in the Great Lawn outside the State Farm Stadium during Super Bowl LVII. Capturing the essence of Thomas’ artistic practice\, this latest sculpture draws from his 2015 sculpture “Opportunity\,” which was inspired by the NFL\, and as part of his interest in photographic history\, popular culture\, and sports as a metaphor for individual and collective struggle or hope. “Hank’s powerful sculpture showcased during Super Bowl week beautifully represents the passion\, strength\, and hope at the heart of our game\,” said Peter O’Reilly\, NFL Executive Vice President of Club Business & League Events. \nThe artwork falls within Thomas’ “Punctum” series\, which is based on Roland Barthes’ photographic theory of the punctum referring to the detail in an image that pierces or wounds the viewer\, creating a direct relationship between them and the pictured object or person. Thomas uses this concept to select or reframe areas of images\, which he then transforms into large-scale sculptures. “Opportunity (reflection)” portrays a snapshot of an anonymous player whose arm extends outward to catch the football. The viewer is reflected back in the mirrored surface and invited to imagine these tense few moments\, filled with great anticipation\, the successful catch leading to success and celebration\, as well as loss and defeat for the opposing team. \n  \n\n  \n

SUMMARY:Fixer Studio: Felting
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the felting workshop\, led by artist Bilge Aktas\, which will be an introduction to repairing and altering knitted garments and clothing using needle felting and wet felting techniques. Participants are welcome to bring their own pieces\, such as clothing\, to mend or alter. All needed materials including wool\, needles and foam back supports will be provided. \n  \nArtist Bilge Aktas’ Bio: \nBilge is a designer\, researcher\, and educator working with textiles\, material interaction\, and sustainable development. Her interdisciplinary expertise covers a variety of design matters\, approaches\, and tools from industrial design\, material engagement and processes from arts and crafts\, and philosophies and methods from social sciences. \nBilge’s artistic practice focuses on immersive experiences emerging from material interaction and embodied experiences. She works with fibers\, photography\, and video making\, positioning her work at the boundary between art\, design\, and crafts.  \nHer research delves into the intricate dynamics of human-material interaction\, and investigates the complex relationships among humans\, materials\, and the environment. Both in her research and creative work\, she employs methods such as working with sensorial reflections\, learning from the material\, and exploring the roots of design materials.   \nBilge’s creative works with fibers have been exhibited at museums and galleries across Finland\, the US\, and Turkey. Over the last decade\, she has been teaching to university students in the US\, Finland\, Estonia and Turkey. Through workshops\, presentations at international conferences\, and research articles in journals\, she continues to explore how materials shape humans.  \nIn this workshop\, she will facilitate exploring the practice of felting by bringing attention to textile structures and material properties. These conversations will help build a more intimate relationship between the participants and their textiles.   \nRSVP Today!
