“A Room-A Loom” spans the space of the gallery, creating a site-specific loom. People are invited to contribute the material of their choice to the collaborative textile. The project began at Workspace in North East Los Angeles, and was recreated at artist-run spaces all over the country.
Materials used include: weeds, old clothing, Halloween costumes, computer cables, bubble wrap, plastic bags, John Baldessari’s toilet-paper, Sheep Dog fur, raw wool, yarn, pants, jeans, blankets, burlap sacks, palm fronds, pom-poms and more. This project has been re-created at Copy Gallery in Philadelphia, PA, SEA Change Gallery in Portland, Cairo in Seattle, Goonies in Vancouver and Swimming Pool in Chicago.
