BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID;X-RICAL-TZSOURCE=TZINFO:-//com.denhaven2/NONSGML ri_cal gem//EN CALSCALE:GREGORIAN VERSION:2.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the opening of a new exhibition at the Brickbottom Artists Association. The exhibit will be open to the public from March 1 0 through April 7\, Thursday through Saturday\, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.&n bsp\;\nFrom the Brickbottom Artists Association: \;\nIn this exhibit \, wood sculptor David Crane and fiber artist Margot Stage (www.margotst age.com) push their individual boundaries while expanding their approach es to usual materials. Borrowing from each other's chosen medium\, this husband and wife team are full of surprises.\nCrane typically creates wo od assemblages from cast-offs of mill work and found objects. For this e xhibit\, he uses wood in ways that reference fiber -- bending and interl acing thin strips of cypress and walnut to create airy\, open forms. Sus pended\, these forms sway and circulate in the slightest breeze.\nStage departs from usual 2-D work with fabric to create sculpture with fibrous materials. Using the linings from silk neckties\, she has strung multip le whites\, beiges and tans into a series of hanging sensual shapes.&nbs p\;\nTogether\, Stage and Crane collaborate on Wear the World Like a Loo se Garment (above). Yards and yards of crocheted strings are interwoven with thin strips of wood\, covering a wall and window in a variegation o f circles\, curves and loops.\nIn the spirit of collaboration\, Brickbot tom residents and other gallery visitors are invited to participate in m aking an installation around the gallery's central column. This on-going creation will be documented weekly as more and more people add their pe rsonal contribution.\n  \; URL:http://somerville.patch.com/events/reception-for-opening-of-fibrous-f orms-exhibition SUMMARY:Reception for Opening of "\;Fibrous Forms"\; Exhibition LOCATION:Brickbottom Artists Association: 1 Fitchburg St\, Somerville\, M A END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
