The second year students are all busily and intensely installing and completing their degree show work this week. Installation started last week. The show is in the Cranbrook Art Museum and all of the approximately 75 second year students have space in the museum for a piece. It is an incredibly exciting time, watching the pieces grow and the museum fill. This year it seems that many of the students have taken the degree show as a challenge to make a statement through scale and other means.
The work of the six Fiber students in the show includes conceptual needlework, large scale sculptural knit forms,installations that ooze and spew substances from two by fours, video performance work, text based work that references the production of culture, and an installation that frames how we perceive the world around us.
I am looking forward to seeing all of the completed work when the show opens on Saturday at 6PM.
