Project Details
Description
A select group of artists will stage Edinburgh College of Art’s biggest ever jewellery and silversmithing’s exhibition outside the UK at a landmark art fair in the US this autumn.
Over 50 pieces of work by 20 recently graduated artists and staff will be on display at SOFA Chicago, which runs 31 October to 3 November.
Now in its 20th year, SOFA Chicago is the world’s foremost fair dedicated to studio glass, ceramics, wood, fiber and metal. With new work on show from more than a hundred galleries, it attracts more than 30,000 visitors every year.
The College was one of only five universities – and the only non-US institution - invited and exhibiting some of its cutting edge output as part of the fair’s CONNECT Space.
For CONNECT Space, ECA has designed an environment incorporating seating, lighting and objects. The lounge-like installation will encourage visitors to sit, engage in discussion and discover new word and trends from Edinburgh.
