Assembly Not Required 3.0: Current Practices from Members of the Contemporary Textile Studio Cooperative
This exhibition showcases work in the form of textile techniques on cloth bags, from a cooperative of textile artists who share a studio space in downtown Toronto. These artists are unified by this creative space and a shared exploration of design and textiles that bridges art and craft, beauty and utility. They engage with processes that have a rich history and renewed contemporary application, such as natural dyeing, stitching and embroidery, slow fashion, repurposing of materials, foraging, handwork, printing, and communal making. These human-centered practices also speak to sustainability, respect for resources, and making meaning from what we create and how we contribute to an inclusive collective experience. Everything included in this show required assembly by hand, and in some cases, many hands, and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
