DesignWork WASTE NO MORE
DesignWork WASTE NO MORE
Textile art exhibition news:

DesignWork presents WASTE NO MORE during The Salon Art + Design at The Park Avenue Armory
Curated by Li Edelkoort, the evocative installation confronts visitors with the reality of society’s discarded clothing and blurs the boundaries between art, design and activism.
Following successful exhibitions in Milan and Paris this spring, DesignWork returns to New York this fall to present a special installation in the historic reception rooms of the Park Avenue Armory. Curated by Li Edelkoort, the new show takes places during The Salon Art + Design and critiques consumption while shining a light on the emerging circular economy.
Eileen Fisher has dedicated her career to challenging the ways of the fashion industry. With the announcement of Vision2020 in 2015, the company took a bold step in reaching its ambitious environmental and social goals which include materials, chemistry, water, carbon and conscious business practices. DesignWork is her company’s latest initiative; a creative exchange between artists and makers who transform consumers’ used garments into captivating wall hangings, upholstery and accessories for interiors, hospitality, and public space; such as for the new Dear Mama Café at the soon- to-be-opened Columbia University campus by Renzo Piano.
The Park Avenue Armory installation confronts visitors with the reality of society’s discarded clothing, while demonstrating the inherent aesthetics of recuperated materials in contemporary design. An imposing tower of industrial recycling crates provides a centerpiece in the Armory entrance, containing 3 tons of used clothing, an immense volume that 100 Americans commonly throw away each year. This same amount is discarded 100 times in a single day in Hong Kong, the majority of which is waste from the fashion industry.
In a second gallery, the zero-waste textile artworks on display have been developed by longtime collaborator and artist Sigi Ahl, in partnership with a dedicated team at EILEEN FISHER’s sorting and recycling facility in Irvington, New York. The abstract “wallworks” are unique editions, created in textural layers in a process that combines felting and stitching with techniques akin to painting.
