Museum As… is organized by DJ Hellerman, Chief Curator & Director of Curatorial Affairs. Museum As… draws from FWM’s ever-growing collection, which consists of over 4,000 objects, including finished works and materials that document their production as well as the results. As evidenced in its residency and programming history, museums can also be sites, ateliers and record-keepers of collaboration. (first in residence in 1989), and a display of two encased gentleman’s suits alongside a related photographic work by Gabriel Martinez (in residence in 1998).įWM’s pursuit of unexpected conversations about ideas, materials, and the artistic process has resulted in a rethinking of what museums can be.
Other collaborations include two literary-inspired works by Tim Rollins and K.O.S. It is displayed in this exhibition alongside two large drawings by Pinto that map out early plans for its production.

Displayed on a hanger like a garment ready to be worn, the work was created with pigment on pig skin to depict a fleshy human torso with black body hair emanating from its sides and chest.
That same year, Jody Pinto, known for sculptural landscape interventions, expanded her practice with the use of printed cloth with Hair Shirt. As seen in the exhibition, Sam Gilliam collaborated with the museum during his 1977 residency-FWM’s founding year-to incorporate silkscreens into his artistic process of playing with color, materials and surface. These collaborations typify and manifest FWM’s deep and experimental relationships with artists. This exhibition features work by six of over 125 Artists-in-Residence with whom FWM have collaborated since its founding. The works on view-including Tommy Joseph’s wearable men’s suit made with Tlingit totemic motifs and Carrie Mae Weems’ Adam and Eve-inspired embroidered folding screen-demonstrate FWM’s distinct approach, one based on cultivating situations for artistic collaboration and experimentation while also collecting and preserving contemporary art for future generations. While the first two exhibitions in the series- Fabric As… and Workshop As…-explored how material and process have shaped the outcome of past residencies, Museum As… focuses on FWM’s role as a museum, a word that wasn’t added to the institution’s name until 1996, nearly 20 years after its founding. Museum As…serves as the third and final installment in a trilogy of exhibitions that began in September 2020, all designed to interrogate The Fabric Workshop and Museum’s name. Both exhibitions will be on view until September 10, 2023. Shopworks explores how collaborations between the FWM Studio and artists have resulted in a robust decades-long program of artist multiples. Museum As… explores FWM’s function as a museum that encourages artists, through collaborations with FWM, to expand their artistic practice with new techniques and ways of working. Philadelphia, PA, The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FWM) is pleased to announce two new exhibitions in its ground floor gallery, Museum As… and Shopworks.
