Plastic bag crochet.<\/p><\/div>\n

Join the IFF’s visiting Science and Art Resident<\/em> – Christine Wertheim<\/strong> – for a workshop of plastic-bag crochet and an afternoon making fantastical organisms out of discarded plastic geep-gaws. Bring your own plastic bags if you have a stash at home – especially dry cleaning bags – and recycle them into an evolutionary art-work. Crochet hooks will be provided<\/strong> – along with plenty of plastic bags in a variety of splendid colors. The workshop is held in conjunction with Christine’s on-site Residency<\/strong><\/a> at the IFF, during which she is creating a landscape of large-scale organic sculptures inspired by the Silurian Age that reflect on the evolution of life on earth and emergence of form in the natural world.<\/p>\n

We invite you to bring in your favorite plastic rubbish – particularly discarded airline earphones and headsets.<\/em><\/p>\n

The IFF’s 2013 \u00a0Science and Art Residency<\/strong><\/a><\/em>\u00a0extends the Institute’s interest in hands-on practices inspired by scientific themes by hosting thinker-makers who work at the boundary of the theoretical and material. During summer and fall, our two residents – Christine Wertheim and Jake Dotson – will take over the Institute to use it as a studio laboratory and space for public engagement. This year’s theme Being Formed<\/strong><\/em>, focuses around the question of how form arises in the natural world, a subject that has inspired philosophers and scientists from Aristotle and Kant to Darwin and Einstein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
