[BCMA] Integrated Circuits Exhibition - Barbara Heller

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

& OTHER CONNECTIONS

 

July 4 - August 15, 2013

Opening reception: Thursday July 4th, 6 - 8 pm

In her new exhibition, INTEGRATED CIRCUITS, internationally celebrated
Vancouver-born tapestry artist, Barbara Heller, is crossing boundaries into
mixed media. She is currently combining shaped tapestry, digitally printed
fabric, embroidery and found objects. 

Heller is intrigued by the beauty of the component parts and calls them "our
worshipped electronics, the sacred bones of the computer". She further
explains, "I want to integrate the electronics with the weaving and with the
human hand - an almost bionic melding. I think of these electronics as
adding another layer of meaning. I want the sewn-on materials to carry their
histories . to enhance the tapestry's meaning and subtext". In doing so,
Heller invites us to re-think ourselves not only in art but also in social
and environmental justice. Heller's work can be viewed on the CCBC website.
