Tandem Mass
5 September 2013 – 5 January 2014
Art Wall on Third Exhibition Series
The Art Collection, 3rd Floor
Mid-Manhattan Library
455 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10016
The Art and Picture Collections present Tandem Mass a
site-specific exhibition of Jacquard tapestries by artist Annette Cords. Inspired by physics, Cords’ Jacquard tapestries
explore ideas relating to complexity and interconnectedness. In physics the
search for a unifying theory, connecting particle physics with cosmology, has
driven much of the recent research and advanced our knowledge of the physical
world. Yet only 4% of all physical phenomena are known and can be described by
physics. The three tapestries on display bring together the traces left by
decaying particles and the expansiveness of a planet, reflecting the twin poles
of current research, and also touching on issues such as the interdependence
and precariousness of human life.
Join us for a What Inspires Artists series event on Tuesday October 1 at 6:30 p.m. inside
the Corner Room where Cords' other exhibition Sideways can be viewed. Annette
Cords and senior art librarian Arezoo Moseni discuss weaving and physics the two
main sources of influence on the artist’s work.
Poet Jeremy Sigler joins Annette Cords for An Artist Dialogue series event on Saturday December 7 at 2:30 p.m. in the Corner Room on the 1st floor.
Art Wall on Third exhibition series is
curated by Arezoo Moseni.
