Fiber Artist-in-Residence Mark Newport and Academy Alumni Featured in MAD Exhibition

Fiber Artist-in-Residence Mark Newport and alumnus Nick Cave (Fiber ’89) both have work featured in the newest exhibition Garmenting: Costume as Contemporary Art at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York City. The exhibition is open now through August 14, 2022.

The first global survey exhibition dedicated to the use of clothing as a medium of visual art, Garmenting: Costume as Contemporary Art examines work by thirty-five international contemporary artists. By making or altering clothing for expressive purposes, these artists create garments, sculpture, installation, and performance art that transform dress into a critical tool. Learn more about the exhibition here. Also currently on view at MAD is the exhibition featuring another Academy alumnus. Chris Schanck: Off World, is on view through January 3, 2023. Schanck is a 2011 graduate of the 3D Design department.
