Opening Reception: Celebrate Artists Moki Cherry and Lisa Alvarado

Be among the first to experience two fall season exhibitions organized by Ars Nova Workshop in partnership with The Fabric Workshop and Museum:

The Living Temple: The World of Moki Cherry is a major retrospective centered around Swedish visual artist and designer Moki Cherry (1943–2009). The exhibition brings together textiles, tapestries, paintings and drawings, concert posters, clothing, ceramics, sculpture, music, video, and archival materials to explore her omnivorous and omnipresent creativity. Building on the artist’s collaborative and multi-sensory approach, this presentation tells the story of Moki’s visionary process. 

Lisa Alvarado: Talismans for a Theater of Resilience is the culminating work of the artist's FWM residency. In collaboration with the FWM Studio, Alvarado experimented with sculptural fabric assemblage, screenprinting, and dyeing techniques to create two monumental hanging tapestries that will be layered with kinetic sound and tinted daylight. Weaving together ancestral memory, natural cycles, and collective histories, she creates a space of resistance, community, and renewal.

Light refreshments served.
