New Material World Continues At Sheldon
"New Material World: Rethreading Technology," continues at the Sheldon Museum of Art. This survey exhibition highlights ten contemporary artists from Canada, Denmark, Japan and the US, who are using new material and manipulating old material in new ways through the use or rejection of modern technology.
The materials used by the artists are as varied as the themes they represent. Some use paper and string, while others use steel, textiles or digital tools. Although each artist is unique in his or her method of creation, the common theme they all share is their utilization of technology and new material as catalysts toward highly imaginative results.
