A Thought Is A Thread: Contemporary Artists Reworking Textile TraditionsMetaphors using the language of textiles are part of everyday idiomatic English: we follow threads on social media; storytellers weave tales or spin fantastic yarns; friend groups might be close-knit and and we might tie ourselves in knots trying to navigate complex situations. The history of textiles is intimately tied to the development of human societies. Weaving is at the same time one of the earliest human technological advancements, the foundation upon which modern industrial nations were built, and the basis for the computing revolution.A Thought Is A Thread brings together works by leading artists who investigate what textiles can still reveal about people and their relationships to each other, to themselves, and to language, land, and the future. Artworks by Faig Ahmed, Sanford Biggers, Diedrick Brackens, Melissa Cody, Suzanne Husky, Joy Ray, and Jordan Nassar present intertwining narratives that both cherish and complicate the web of meanings that emerge when traditional textile arts are given contemporary expression.Debuting at our opening, Picker Art Gallery welcomes members of the Colgate community to partake in Yarnival, a collaborative art experience. Yarnival will be on view and available for participation during the exhibition run of A Thought is a Thread, through May 18, 2025, in the upper atrium of the Dana Arts Center. Please stay tuned to our social media channels and website for more details on how to participate.A Thought Is A Thread is partially supported by funding from The Friends of Picker Art Gallery.

Through an ongoing series of community conversations, artist and architect Suchi Reddy has been in dialog with students, faculty, staff, and townspeople throughout the 2024-2025 academic year to learn about the ways in which our encounters with reflection and misreflection in physical and digital spaces contribute to our experience of bias and belonging. A culmination of the year's conversations, Bias and Belonging poetically reframes the Colgate community's embodied experience of belonging in woven, textual and digital forms. Bias and Belonging is the latest iteration of Reddy's ongoing exploration into embodied states of being that reflect our individual and collective experience as we code switch and transform in evolving environments both digital and physical.Presented by the Art Department and the Christian A. Johnson Foundation**The Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-in-Residence was established in 1986 as a challenge grant in support of the arts at Colgate. The residency program permits one or more artists to become part of the Colgate community every academic year.*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors. If driving a distance, please contact the department (315-228-7633), during regular working hours, to ensure the gallery will be open. The gallery is not open during university breaks and holidays.
