Nanageddon: The End of Craft as We Know It

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

nanageddon

this sounds awesome…

ROAR! Gallery invites you to Nanageddon, a new group Exhibition featuring the work of: Outdoor Knit, Di McMillan, Caroline McQuarrie, Athina Moisa, Ann Moore, Rowan Panther, Matthew Squire, Margaret Tolland, Shar Young, and KIRAN-X.

August 20th – September 12th 2009.

Nanageddon showcases artists who are hailing the revival of stitching and knitting, subverting the idea of “Nana-craft” and reclaiming the art of craft in truly revealing ways. In this exhibition, what might sound like the work of a harmless old lady, turns out to be the act of some edgy, post-modern and radical thinker.

‘Slip’ was a collaborative crochet and knit project sponsored by felt.co.nz, for Christchurch Arts Festival, (which ran from Thursday 23 July to Sunday 9 August 2009)… If you missed out on seeing these pieces in the flesh, take a look at the Slip blog for some great images of outdoor crafty foliage!

Jeeze!

I forgot to tell you about this event coming up this weekend: Art in Action, a show of art and craft, is on at the Philosophy House, 33 Aro Street. I was there three years ago and was really fascinated by the artists making instruments on site, a harp maker, and a violin maker. There where a lot of pretty pictures too, and the coffee and food was, hmmm… it did the job. But I’ll definitely go this weekend, it’s so worth the $10 entrance fee.
