ARC PROJECTS 2021
Jo Hesse: Social Fabric: A Community Rugmaking Project, June 20 - July 10
Jo Hesse makes felt rugs and wall art using traditional pre-industrial feltmaking techniques that she leaned in Turkey from UNESCO honored master feltmaker Mehmet Girgic. This project will use the Main Street exhibition space at A.P.E. to create a large rug that the community could bring into existence. The felt rugmaking process is so uncommon and so dynamic that the artist is confident passersby will be drawn in to watch and, in some cases, to participate. Since A.P.E. was designed to be not only an exhibition space and performance venue, but a place for artists to work, and a place for community to exist, it is the perfect place for this project, which is partially exhibition, partially collaborative art and partially an ongoing and interactive performance of hand fabrication and ancient technology.
An exhibition of the artist's rugs will also be shown during the project. https://www.theramandtheworm.com/
PLEASE NOTE: New Rugmaking Project Schedule:
Wednesdays - Sundays, 2- 5 pm
Fridays: 2-8 pm
