Explore contemporary fashion at the
Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville
If fashion is your thing and you're going to be taking a last-minute summer trip down to the Jersey Shore this weekend and spending all day at the beach has gotten a little stale, you might want to check out the "Seams: Contemporary Art to Wear" exhibition at The Noyes Museum of Art in Oceanville - 15 minutes from Atlantic City. The exhibition only runs through Aug. Sunday. Co-curated by Toms River mixed media and textile artist Joanie San Chirico, "Seams" presents the works of 12 established and emerging artists from New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachussetts, Iowa and Canada, who create pieces using experimental textile techniques and cutting-edge technologies as well as traditional sewing and weaving.
"Seams" considers the idea of clothing as expression, identity and as a form of communication. The creative intersection of art, fashion and design is explored using a variety of materials and conceptual presentations. It highlights works in which the artist go beyond the everyday utility of clothing to confront a range of important themes such as self-expression, social connection and domestication. Included are the works of New Jersey artists Marisa Dipaola, Diana Savona and Kerr Grabowski.
