π¬ For our next installment of βSonya Clark in 60 Seconds,β artist Sonya Clark tells us about her interactive artwork, “Restoration Exercise,” which is a part of her larger body of work, “Monumental Cloth: The Flag We Should Know.”
π³οΈ “Monumental Cloth: The Flag We Should Know,” is a series of artworks and activations based on the historic dish towel that was used as the signal of truce that was used as the flag that ended the American Civil War in 1865.
π For “Reconstruction Exercise,” viewers are invited at designated times and with the assistance of instructors to weave the flag on a Cranbrook loom as a tactile act of learning this history. Visitors can interact with the loom on Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
π “Sonya Clark: We Are Each Other” at Cranbrook Art Museum will be closing on Sunday, September 24, 2023.
