Tufting Gun Tapestries transforms the Logan Center Gallery into an active site of learning and production through the investigation of an ancient carpet-making technique, reimagined with contemporary tufting equipment.‘Tufting Gun Tapestries draws from both the long and storied history of textile art as a political medium,’ says Logan Center exhibitions director and curator Yesomi Umolu.
Tufting Gun Tapestries is Assemble’s first exhibition in the city of Chicago. Taking place at the University of Chicago’s Logan Center for the Arts until 27 October, the exhibition will coincide with ‘...and other such stories,’ this year’s edition of the Biennial on view at the Chicago Cultural Center until 5 January 2020 — also curated by Umolu along with Sepake Angiama and Paulo Tavares. §Hanging dyed yarn to dry at the Material Institute.
