"By acquainting people with lesser-known facts and helping them understand how closely tied the Mexican border is with American life, Aguiñiga hopes her show at MAD will help bolster insight and empathy…In an era where identity and politics are especially paramount, Craft & Care is a positive, and necessary, step toward human and cultural connection." — Architectural Digest (https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/tanya-aguiniga-us-mexico-border-museum-art-and-design)

Experience the critically acclaimed exhibition, Derrick Adams: Sanctuary (https://madmuseum.org/exhibition/derrick-adams-sanctuary) before the exhibition wraps up on August 12. The body of work was inspired by The Negro Motorist Green Book, an annual guidebook for black American road-trippers published by New York postal worker Victor Hugo Green from 1936 to 1967, during the Jim Crow era in America. Sanctuary reflects on the plight of working-class black people before and during the Civil Rights Movement, and their determination to pursue the same American Dream afforded to others.

------------------------------------------------------------

Through September 9

Interlace (http://madmuseum.org/exhibition/samantha-bittman-interlace) wraps the entry-level elevator bank in a colorful, oversize weaving draft –the pattern weavers follow to work out their designs in advance, dress their loom, and subsequently weave a piece of cloth. This particular weaving draft represents a “sample blanket,” a textile that uses different warp and weft combinations in small sections in order to experiment with weave structures, yarn and color. Printed at this scale, the pattern is recognizable as a tool specific to textile work, while resembling the pixels associated with the digital.
