To mark the opening of its new textile galleries, the Denver Art Museum is covering nearly all of its public spaces with fabric, yarn, and needlework. The museum-wide project “Spun: Adventures in Textiles” will bedeck the atrium with a four-story quilt, send a crocheted coral reef snaking through galleries, and culminate in a massive blanket sculpture by Marie Watt . . .

Marc Mayer is calling it “the largest undertaking of our history” . . .

The international video project curated by Laurence Wood and Zoran Poposki will be held at the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park in Shatin, Hong Kong, and will feature works by: Arnold J. Kemp, Tricia Sellmer, Lucy Harrison, Daniel Arnaldo-Roman, Zoran Poposki, Laurence Wood, Luis Lara Malvacias, Tessie Word and Damon Ayers, Victoria Hindley, Eva Petric. Arnold Will be in attendance.

Of the many galleries participating in Photolucida, Portland’s monthlong photography showcase, PDX Contemporary Art’s three-person show is the most effective...

“Spun: Adventures in Textiles” is designed to address a chronic problem at museums: getting visitors to look at their permanent collections. Visitors can also learn to quilt in a drop-in studio or join the sewing circle of Marie Watt, an artist-in-residence, a Seneca Indian whose sculptures, made from blankets, will be shown nearby.

"There are few living artists as in tune with the rugged spirit of the Pacific Northwest as Vanessa Renwick and her Oregon Department of Kick Ass." Hollywood Theater will be showing the artist's first full retrospective in fifteen years, including a series of films and the premiere of a new video . . .

D.E May’s work mines the inherent beauty of architectural drawing and diagrammatic project proposals...

PDX is pleased to be a participant of VOLTA NY. Please visit us at booth 2.26, where we have a beautiful installation of new works by D.E. May.
