… in the news, CAT MAZZA … is highlighted in a recent article by MARTHA SCHWENDENER,
(The New York Times, THE ARTS section, PAGE B9, SATURDAY, January 27, 2007)
\nas one of the more dynamic artists included in the new ‘Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting’ exhibit
at the Museum of Arts & Design. to quote:
\n” … The works most in keeping with the show’s politically charged title are more interactive
\n and collective, or more related to performance. For example Cat Mazza’s collectively
\ncrocheted “Nike Blanket Petition”, a campaign against sweatshop practices represented
\nhere in a series of photographs, will be sent to Nike’s corporate headquarters.”<\/p>\n
Museum of Arts & Design is the new name for what was formerly called the
\nAmerican Craft Museum. The show was organized by David Revere McFadden, the
\nmuseum’s chief curator. The New York Times article wasn’t exactly enamored of the
scope of the show vis a vis the potential or promise of its title … “So many more artists
\nmight have been included whose work explores the social aspects of knitting and lace
\nor who more radically recast these forms: Simon Perotin, of the punk-doily creations;
\nthe artisans in the Church of Craft; Ms. Zittel; Ms. Auerbach; Mr. Drain; and so on.”<\/p>\n

\n‘ART*\/^@WORK’ (aka ‘ART over WORK’) was curated by TALI HINKIS of LoVid and co-produced with ELANA LANGER.
