SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Bhakti Ziek - From Backstrap to Jacquard: The Influence of Technology on Weaving
DESCRIPTION:Bhakti Ziek \nJoin us in Cranbrook’s deSalle Auditorium on Tuesday\, October 7\, at 6pm for a free\, public lecture by Bhakti Ziek (MFA Fiber 1989)\, “From Backstrap to Jacquard: The Influence of Technology on Weaving.” \nAlthough the fundamentals of weaving have remained unchanged since its inception thousands of years ago (a warp thread is up or the warp thread is down)\, the technology of weaving has evolved from manual methods to digital technology. \nZiek has co-authored books on both the backstrap loom and Photoshop as a tool for jacquard design\, and she has experimented with many types of looms for her work. This lecture will take you through her journey as she explains how these tools have influenced her work\, and why she asks herself\, before starting a project\, “What is the appropriate loom/tool for this idea?” \nA graduate of Cranbrook Academy of Art’s Fiber program\, she will also discuss how her Cranbrook experience influenced her work and continues to reverberate in her life. \nSupport Cranbrook Academy of Art’s Public Lecture Series\, which invites a range of artists\, designers\, architects\, critics\, writers\, curators\, and other professionals of national and international stature\, by donating to our Annual Fund! \nBhakti Ziek\, Lexicon Series.
