Illiquid Objects

Illiquid Objects is a material investigation into personal production and craft using fiber, beads and amuletic objects. We are interested in exploring the handmade object as a place to store dreams. Co-curated by Yasmeen Abdallah and Defne Tutus, Illiquid Objects will feature a poem by Qiqing Goh and works by CARO, Aruni Dharmakirthi, Renato Dib, Nicholas D'Ornellas, Katherine Earle, Daniela Gomez Paz, Alexandra Hammond, Vandana Jain, Fatemeh Kazemi, Weihui Lu, Erin McQuarrie, Chiara No, Jacob Olmedo, Lena Ruth Schwartz, SHENEQUA, Zelikha Zohra Shoja, Anita Trombetta, Tulika Varma and Chengtao Yi. Many of these artists work in the tangible world of physical materials and they push the boundaries of traditional textile techniques. They find inspiration in the fraying, breaking, and re-imagining of old narratives.
