The Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef will be exhibited in whole in Los Angeles in early 2009, as part of the IFF-curated show “I’ve Got A Coral Reef Too!” The exhibition will also include a number of other crochet reefs from around the world - yes folks, we are not alone. Before then, the IFF Reef will be showing in different configurations in New York and London.
Exact exhibition schedules and further information about all exhibitions will be posted when known.
- Hayward Gallery (Southbank Center, London, UK)
During Summer 2008 the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef will be showing in London at the Hayward Gallery. The exhibition will include an expanded version of the Bleached Reef, a new configuration of the Ladies Silurian Reef, the beautifully archaic Branched Anemone Garden, and the ever-growing Toxic Reef. On show for the first time will also be the amazing new Chicago Cambrian Reef (curated by IFF contributor Aviva Alter), plus a new incarnation of the Beaded Reef (by master beaders Rebecca Peapples and Sue Von Ohlsen). The exhibition will also feature a new, all-plastic installation entitled The Exploding Plastic Inevitable (with pink crocheted sand by Kathleen Greco, craft-lace corals by Evelyn Hardin and bottle trees by Christine Wertheim.) Hanging elements in this exhibition will include the Rubbish Vortex by Australian contributor Helle Jorgensen, a cloud of jellyfish made from recycled packaging materials by Irish crafter Inga Hamilton, and Dr Axt's psychedelic coral-cloud Reefer Madness.
In addition to the IFF, reefs the Hayward exhibition will also see the debut of the UK Reef, which is currently being constructed by crafters and crocheters across the UK.
Forthcoming, June 10 - August 18th 2008
