A Fiber Art Exhibit and Yarn-Bombing Event

For the month of October, a group of artists will magically transform the sidewalk in front of Future Studio Gallery by dressing everyday items in varying combinations of fiber material. If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Hey, that parking meter could use a sweater,” or “Wouldn’t knit flowers look good in that empty planting box,” then we have an exhibit for you. The act of yarn bombing combines the art of street installation with needlework to create colorful, unexpected, and funny messages in a venue shared by everyone. Enjoy a stroll and marvel in the handmade work attached to street signs, lightposts, parking meter posts, and other fixtures along the street.

This is a two-fold exhibition, and includes a wall display inside the gallery. Works range from funny to functional; some draw on the rich history of Northeast Los Angeles, while others use unusual materials; and all puch the knit/crochet envelope. Participating artists include: Ellen Bloom, Beth Elliott, Jacque Lene Engel, Carmela Gomes, Miriam Gonzalez, Susana Gonzalez, Heather Hoggan, Amy Inouye, Julie Keehner, Artemisia Kosar, Arzu Arda Kosar, Lauri Mraz, Racquel “Rocky” Ormsby-Olivares, David Orozco, Noah B. Orozco, Connie Rohman, Joya Roy, Suzie Stroll, Sherry Thompson, Kacy Treadway.

Various free knit/crochet workshops will take place Sun. Oct. 10, Sat. Oct. 16, Sun. Oct. 17, and Sat. Oct. 23.

Future Studio Gallery: September 2010

ARTBOTS
Sculptures by Liz Mamorsky

Opening Second Saturday Gallery Night
September 11, from 7 to 10 pm
Open by appointment until Sept. 28

Future Studio Gallery welcomes Liz Mamorsky back for her third solo show at the Highland Park gallery. Liz’s ARTBOTS are culled from the detritus of technology, a never-ending stream of electronic waste. The speed of technological redundancy is astounding. No sooner is a new product created than it is rendered obsolete, and Liz is the recipient of a small portion of that waste, using it to create her sculptural wall pieces. As always, a small quantity of free artist trading cards will be available at the opening.

“I cannot make sense of waste, but I can make art of waste, and am driven to do so. I like to think that my anthropomorphic ARTBOTS and other creatures are helping to make the world just a little bit cleaner . . . and certainly a lot more fun!”

Future Studio Gallery is home to Chicken Boy, the Statue of Liberty of Los Angeles, a permanent art installation atop the roof of the gallery. Each month, a free Chicken Boy trading card ia also available at the art opening. NELAart.com Second Saturday Gallery Night features some 20+ art spaces in Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Cypress Park, and Mt Washington.
