AD—WO Weaving Workshop, Session 3

Hayes Hall 108 N Oval Mall Columbus, OH 43210

Add to Calendar 2025-02-13 13:00:00 2025-02-13 17:00:00 AD—WO Weaving Workshop, Session 3 Since the turn of the millennium, global debates with tremendous cultural and political implications have been brewing over the vast collections of satellite images gathered to measure and navigate the planet. These debates, augmented by scholarly and artistic interventions, ask critical questions: What aspects of our world are rendered illegible by these ubiquitous images? How have these gaps in representation compromised the way artists and designers understand their sites of inquiry? Do these gaps offer opportunities to imagine other ways of representing time and space? In other words, how can an image of a site be used to genuinely experiment with notions of repair, animism, and placemaking?Satellite representations of Columbus, Ohio will serve as the primary sites for our analysis and intervention. The image of the site will be explored in conjunction with found objects, and other modes of image-making. This workshop foregrounds tapestry as transdisciplinary practice of image-making and space-making; articulating the intersections of architecture, heritage, and migration. The aim is to experiment with the spatial implications of weaving. This work will be done by identifying and translating techniques from imaging practices in contemporary art that challenge legibility, transparency, and resolution; operating in contradistinction to cartographic traditions of measuring, encapsulating, and preserving existing hierarchies. Weaving Workshop reframes architecture and design through considerations of aesthetic practices that propose new ways of being together.Participants will work in groups of four or five, combining samples, sites, and objects to produce 30” x 30” tapestries. For the purposes of this workshop, samples are understood as counter-cartographic representational techniques—borrowed from contemporary visual art practices—that unsettle the logics of satellite imagery; Sites are understood as representational fragments of Columbus, Ohio; and Objects are found materials from the site that do not show up on maps or satellite images.
