Don’t Be Absurd.

A textile art exhibition from Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse & Guests, featuring works by Mabelin Castellanos.

The Contemporary Art Modern Project announces its 7th Edition of Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse: Don’t be Absurd. Over 100 years ago Søren Aabye Kierkegaard set the stage for society to look beyond one’s own concerns with the start of Existentialism. Absurdism emerges after the Second World War as the world grappled with the sense of the meaninglessness of life due to an overwhelming indifference for humanity and the suffering of others. For this year’s edition of: Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse, and Guests: Don’t Be Absurd, the exploration of Absurdism is done through the hands of fiber artists. Artists were asked to refer to works by: Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Simone De Beauvoir, Samuel Beckett, and Jose Saramago and interpret the writings into circular fiber responses.

The exhibition opens October 17, at 6pm in our North Miami gallery with an artist and collector preview. Join us October 18th, as we welcome Art Table for a private tour, and our first hosting of many in gallery conversations starting with Nuria Richards, Founder of Clandestina Feria and Director of Development and Advisor of Strategy at Oolite Arts, Miami. We will also be welcoming fiber artist Aurora Molina and FAMA Founding Member, among other guests to discuss the contemporary fiber world and the role women play. The run of the exhibition will include several in gallery art talks, workshops and conversations about fiber art with both artists and curators.
