About the exhibition \u2013 Curators\u2019 Statement:<\/strong><\/div>\n
\n

“For centuries, fiber art practice has influenced practical, theoretical, and pedagogical areas of the sciences as diverse as modern computing and digital technologies, mathematical theories, neuroscience, psychology, biology, environmental science, and more. Through contemporary art by a diverse group of intergenerational artists working in weaving, quilting, needlework, crochet, knitting, dyeing, and other fiber-based practices\u00a0Radical Fiber: Threads Connecting Art and Science<\/em> demonstrates how fiber practice has influenced mathematics, science, and technology. The exhibition foregrounds each work as at once fine art, process-driven craft, and scientific tool, complicating existing frameworks across fields.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Radical Fiber<\/em>\u00a0also features a new artwork created by amateur and professional makers around the globe: the Saratoga Springs Satellite Reef<\/em>, part of the worldwide Crochet Coral Reef<\/em> project by Christine and Margaret Wertheim and the Institute For Figuring. The Saratoga Springs Satellite Reef<\/em> draws on the long historical connections, especially in the United States, between fiber practice and community building and will connect hobby crafters, art professionals, novice crocheters, and students from Skidmore, broader Saratoga, and global communities.”<\/p>\n
