(Re)Fashioning Fiber

{Art cloth text}

Environmental artist and textile writer, Abigail Doan, announces the upcoming exhibit,(Re)Fashioning Fiber opening at Tribeca’s Green Spaces NY on Thursday, May 20, 2010 from 6:30pm-8:30pm.

Doan curated this group exhibition as an opportunity to examine new ways of thinking about fiber in relation to the natural environment, our patterns of consumption, and contemporary definitions of fashioning self.

Fiber is one of the most ancient materials used in craftwork, garment production, and shelter fabrication. It serves as a resilient and easily sourced material for many of today’s sustainable design solutions as well as having an impressive history of use in personal adornment. The practice of (re)fashioning, recycling, or altering natural fiber is on the increase in art studios and fashion houses globally. This new wave of eco-crafting seems to highlight the positive ways that fiber is also (re)fashioning our connections to one another as well as our fragile environment.

(Re)Fashioning Fiber includes collaborative environmental fiber art from Iran; handcrafted vegetation jewelry from Bulgaria; sustainable, locally-minded fashion and drawings by Eko-Lab; no-waste textile fashion by Study NY; recycled ‘flotsam fiber’ from the streets of NYC; handmade books spinning tales about a global pilgrimage; crochet tower structures infused with sound; and one-of-a-kind fiber expressions from the domestic realm.

Invited artists and designers include: Abigail Doan, Atefeh Khas (Iran), Brece Honeycutt, Ceca Georgeiva (Bulgaria), Abigail McEnroe, Kaori Yamazaki, Mackenzie Frere (Canada), Matt Pass, Melissa Kirgan, Meiling Chen, Michelle Vitale Loughlin, Renata Mann, Sibyll Kalff (Germany), Tara St. James, Tara Goodarzy, Xing-Zhen Chung-Hilyard. Unless indicated, all other artists/designers are U.S. based.

(Re)Fashioning Fiber will be on view at Green Spaces NY, located at

394 Broadway, 5th Floor, New York from May 20 thru August 13, 2010.
