shape_shifting_support_systems, a group exhibition, co-organized by guest curators Leah Triplett Harrington and Mallory Ruymann, featuring seven contemporary artists working at the nexus of weaving, painting, and performance at the Praise Shadows Art Gallery, Brookline, through August 27.
Weaving is conventionally associated with tradition and craft, while grids are among the quintessential images of modernity. But between these two, as between the feminine and the masculine, the natural and the artificial, the historical and the contemporary, categories no longer mean what they used to.
