Thread
February 20th, 2007 Posted in Video, Vlog, YouTube, Technology, Visual Art, Wood Street Galleries, Cultural District, Media Art, Sculpture“THREAD” is the latest installment at Wood Street Galleries.

The term thread has many connotations, relating to craft and technology in the contemporary artist’s studio and in culture at large. The curatorial model of Thread physically emulates the structure of a web log. Here at Wood Street Galleries, the exhibition is parsed into four categories, simulating threads in a conversation about the resurrection of craft aesthetics within technology-based contemporary art making.
The galleries are free and open to the public: Tuesday-Thursday 11am-6pm; Friday-Saturday 11am-8pm. Call (412) 471-5605.
