Discarded yarns woven into futurist artworks
A series of exhibits.
Teachers and students from Donghua University have launched the exhibition "Future Land" at the Art Pioneer Studio Museum in the Pudong New Area to showcase their imagination and a future world woven by yarn.
The exhibits, including paintings and installations created with obsolete yarns, show scenarios and creatures in different seasons.
The creators, led by Xu Yanhui, a tutor from Donghua's Shanghai International College of Fashion and Innovation, wish to show the vastness of space and tininess of the microworld, as well as the endlessness of time.
Students have created a future world thanks to their imagination with abandoned yarns.
"For students, the process to make the exhibition happen is not only a lesson for aesthetic education, but also a chance to understand how to embed new life in discarded yarns with fiber art," said Li Jun, dean of the institution.
The exhibition is also a cooperation between the university and the museum to break barriers to provide high-quality artistic resources and learning platforms for students and improve their aesthetic accomplishments.
The exhibition will run through February 28.
New life is embedded in discarded yarns.
