| the opening night performance for nick cave's exhibition Let's C. photo: james prinz |
this art is plainly more fuel for my texture addiction! added bonus: the fabric workshop is right next the AIA philadelphia bookstore and design center (which has very nice bathrooms if i may say so)...double whammy in sense overload.
the fabric workshop says:
"The exhibition Let’s C highlights
recent, prominent sculptural and performative works by Chicago-based
artist Nick Cave. The exhibition features Cave’s iconic
“Soundsuits”—which function in chorus as dance costumes, sculptures, and
extensions of one’s persona—video of recent performance, and, for the
first time, Architectural Forest: an ambitious,
floor-to-ceiling installation of ornamented bamboo. For over two decades, Nick Cave has constructed Soundsuits out of a
litany of unique, found materials, such as crocheted hats, plastic
sandwich bags, gleaming buttons, stuffed animals, and other items from
thrift stores, flea markets, and estate sales. Their sculptural form
functions simultaneously to display and conceal through the visual
references to the exuberance of masquerade and the protection of body
armor."

2. FREE student recital at the curtis institute!
although i generally like most classical music - especially if it
involves a lonely piano - i don't know anything about it. luckily, i
have the opportunity to see amazingly
talented musicians play for free and maybe learn a thing or two myself.
as stated on the curtis website:
"The Curtis Institute of Music educates and
trains exceptionally gifted young musicians for careers as performing
artists on the highest professional level. One of the world's leading conservatories,
Curtis is highly selective, with an enrollment of about 165. A busy schedule of performances is at the heart
of Curtis's distinctive "learn by doing" approach, which has produced an
impressive number of notable artists since the school's founding in
Philadelphia in 1924."
and this tidbit from wikipedia: "According to statistics compiled by U.S. News & World Report,
it has the lowest acceptance rate of any college or university, making
it the most selective institution of higher education in the United States." whoa.
