6abc Loves the Arts: "Soft/Cover" on view through August 17 at Fabric Workshop and Museum
The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia is presenting "Soft/Cover," an exhibition featuring 90 works by 65 artists drawn from the museum's history from the late 1970s to today. Co-curated by Katy Donoghue and former chief curator DJ Hellerman, the show spans three floors and is arranged thematically around home items, shelter, and suiting, including soft architecture, garments, and tapestries. Eight artists-in-residence created new works for the exhibition, with seven produced on-site, such as Aimee Koran's "Mama's Space Suit" inspired by Louise Nevelson's 1985 "Opera Costume." Notable artists featured include Lynda Benglis, Roy Lichtenstein, Pat Steir, and Richard Tuttle.
