The exhibition, titled “WAYS OF MAKING,” includes work by Hopp, Moira Chas, and LoVid and was curated by Tali Hinkis and Lorraine Walsh. It opened Sept. 30 and remains on view through Dec. 7, 2022.
The exhibit shares three distinct methodologies with intricate processes and ideas by artists that bring diverse backgrounds into their practice. They are informed by varied disciplines and means, including mathematics and design, pattern and process, digital and handmade-—each creating work that resonates with conceptual authenticity and innovation.
The exhibition was curated and planned alongside a series of conversations around math, art, and design. As such, the exhibit is conceived as a place for dialogue and visitors are welcome to reflect on potential connections while raising timeless questions for a refreshing dialogue—What is art? What is design? What is the difference between visual mathematical representation and inspiration? And why do we love knots?
