FELT Unfurled
Exhibition at Christie Contemporary, as part of Design TO
January 18 - February 8, 2025
Rolls of felt 6’ wide x 80 yards long in total are turned into an interior environment through designs that function as wall covering and furnishings with a nod to the anti-form art movement of the late 1960s. Defying conventions of traditional art and design objects, the work changes in relation to the physical environment and interaction with viewers, evolving from the inherent qualities of the material—Felt rolls, felt folds, felt puckers, felt pleats, felt pads, felt cushions, felt piles, felt shields…
“What can you do with a square?” is an accompanying tableau where viewers are invited to participate, presenting the challenge of making something from a given square. Take a piece from a pile of felt squares stacked in the gallery. Copy designs on display, or design and make your own piece using tools provided, available during gallery hours. Or, drop in to one of our salons. Not a maker? Join the gathering and take a square away with you. You will surely find you put it to good use.
