Home Maker Space is an immersive exploration of the most recent work by Korean American artist Ahree Lee. TEXTILE 1.0 combines weaving, video, and electronic textiles to imagine the kind of technology we might have in our homes if technology had evolved differently in the 20th century.
The modular steel structure is based on the proportions of home kitchen cabinetry and appliances, while the gridded patterns of the hand-woven textiles evoke mainframe computer panels and factory machinery. The four mini-videos projected onto the surface demonstrate the imagined functionality of this computer-appliance-machine hybrid.
TEXTILE 1.0 started as a commission for a solo exhibition at the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum in 2024 and it will continue its journey at Craft Contemporary in 2025 in a “studio-like” setting where visitors will be able to access a little bit of the process behind the work on display. A loom, various work samples, printouts of historical works that inform the art, as well as work on progress, will accompany this installation work.
