Claudia Alarcón & Silät's first North American institutional solo exhibition is now open at the Gund at Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio.
'Together, [Silät] model a different understanding of authorship, one grounded in care for nature, relationality, continuity, and collective agency. In this way, weaving, like translation, is not just a means of communication. It is a commitment to holding complexity; a way of moving with and through the world in concert with others. There is no fixed message. Instead, there is a collective rhythm of transmission - of voices carried, languages bent, and knowledge rearticulated through the act of making.'
Claudia Alarcón & Silät's work is presented adjacent to a small but powerful exhibition of the artist Lenore Tawney, demonstrating the capaciousness of the woven object in its ability to carry ideas, stories, and the relational bonds of the artists who make them.
