About the SHOW
Michael
Andrews is visual artist and Assistant Professor at SAIC Chicago. He is
well-known for be part of the fiber art movement. His artistic research
uses epic craft techniques to revamp familiar textile applications.
"I'm
filling the WAG room with flirtatious bodies. Each one does a slow
strip tease but instead of removing articles of clothing the bodies are
erotically tuning themselves inside out. There will be five performers
in total over the course of the WAG exhibition. Each one will appeal to a
variety of tastes and desires. It's like a drag show for the bodiless"
(Michael).
About the WAG
Due to our needs that seem to
be increasingly handheld, WAG was born on 2009! The Widget Art Gallery
is a mini single art gallery room fitting into people's pocket. Every
month, the WAG hosts a solo digital art exhibition related to its
dynamic site-specific context. So the WAG works both as a sort of
kunsthall showing temporary exhibitions and also as museum conserving
all the past shows inside an online archive that creates a permanent
collection.
