The Difference Loom is a visual contemporary art exhibition exploring textiles and technology. We sense the body in textiles, but not in technology. We discern the analytical in technology, but not in weavings. This exhibition is about those perceptions/disconnections, explored in that area where textiles and technology intersect.
It is an exhibition of works by 8 artists who use textiles as one medium of social critique:
Artists from South Africa:
Quanta Gauld
Keiskamma Art Project
Mbali Khoza
Fabian Saptouw
Artists from the United Kingdom:
Janis Jefferies
David Mabb
Richard Rigg
Nina Wakeford
It is curated by London and Cape Town-based independent curator Winnie Sze.
