SUMMARY:Artist Reception: “Material”
DESCRIPTION:The Anderson Center presents Material, a group exhibition of contemporary textile-based work by Minnesota artists featuring new approaches to traditional art forms and time-honored techniques. A free artist reception will take place Friday, April 9 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Refreshments will be provided. The exhibition runs through April 24, 2021.\nThrough sewing, crochet, piecework, and garment construction techniques, the artists featured in Material address timely themes that range from intersectional identities to a prevalence of plastic waste. Featured artists include Anna Carlson, Dawn Zero Erickson, Su Legatt, Ka Oskar Ly, and Erik Jon Olson.\n“Women artists and artists from non-Western backgrounds have long demonstrated that these methods belong in conversations about contemporary art. Sewing, needlework, and functional processes have been considered ‘craft’ techniques, implying that they are somehow lesser than ‘fine’ art,” says curator Stephanie Rogers. “The artists featured in this exhibition are building from a decades-long, national conversation about art that includes people such as Ruth Asawa and Faith Ringgold. The use of soft materials, surface decoration, pattern, and familiar and domestic forms is evocative in and of itself. The artists featured in Material build on the ideas associated with these techniques and forms, moving this important art historical conversation forward in our place and time.”\nHandicapped accessible and free to the public, the Main Gallery at the Anderson Center is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (beginning Feb. 10). This exhibit is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.\nAbout the Artists\nAnna Carlson’s conceptual work explores dress and identity through the processes of dyeing and printmaking. She combines her interest in current issues with her practice by merging hand and digital processes. “My creative journey began as a child; I loved to make paper dolls and cut out dresses from wallpaper sample books.”\nBased in Red Wing, Dawn Zero Erickson is an independent artist/designer whose textile designs have been exhibited extensively throughout the world and are in the permanent collections of the Kyoto Textile Museum in Japan, the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt Museum of Design in New York, and The Art Institute of Chicago as well as numerous private and corporate collections. Her considerable foreign travel experiences (including Asia, Eastern Europe, India, Russia, Turkey, and former Soviet countries) are evident in her work.\nSu Legatt is an artist, educator, and community organizer. Collected through internet crowdsourcing, each of her pieces in Material shares a simple yet memorable bit of guidance from a Minnesota Grandmother; screen-printed onto fabric collected during an annual local clean up week and finished with a crocheted doily border. These quirky wall pieces balance the sentimentality of this precious knowledge with the playfulness often associated with time spent with grandparents.\nKa Oskar Ly is a queer Hmong French American multi-disciplinary artist, organizer, and creative cultural producer based in the Twin Cities, MN. Ka’s approach is informed through immersing herself in processes and community to seek authenticity in intersectionality and shifting narratives. She fosters spaces and brings her own story to life, creating with integrity to advance community progress and thoughtfully navigating through to address systemic and social change.\nUsing quilted plastic waste as his medium, Erik Jon Olson creates works that deal with the effects of consumerism, mass consumption and unfettered capitalism. By layering environmental issues with social justice messaging, his art emphasizes our alienation from the environment and each other, our willingness to waste and our subsequent need for healing.\nThis invitational show has been curated by Stephanie Lynn Rogers.\nFeatured image by Su Legatt.\n
