Two new exhibitions are opening Thursday at the Museum of Contemporary Craft:


Mandy Greer, "Dare alla Luce," installation shot

Mandy Greer presents her installation Dare alla Luce. The term is an Italian idiom for giving birth that translates to "to give to the light." Simultaneously "mythical and mundane," the installation uses sewing, crochet, braiding, and beading processes to "collapse the language and materials of the ordinary with the spectacular and the epic."

Exhibition • January 22 - May 31
Museum of Contemporary Craft • 724 NW Davis • 503.223.2654



Darrel Morris, "COACHES and athlete"

MoCC will be the first West Coast institution to exhibit Darrel Morris' large embroidered works, featuring pieces from 1999-2008. Best known for "intimate and nostalgic snapshot-sized pieces," with this body of work Morris approaches new territory in scale, color, and line. Clipping figures from print media, Morris creates sharply graphic line drawings with thread.

Don't miss the panel discussion opening night. Stefano Catalani, curator from the Bellevue Arts Museum, will join MoCC curator Namita Wiggers and artists Mandy Greer and Dale Morris for the latest lecture in MoCC's Craft Perspectives series.
