The Knot's United performance will begin at 8 PM opening night, July 31st.
Knots brings together artists who use tying, looping, weaving, binding, and repetition as both material process and metaphor. Across sculpture, fiber, found objects, mathematical systems, bodily forms, and participatory performance, the exhibition explores the knot as a structure of connection and tension—something that holds, protects, restricts, remembers, and transforms.
Long used as tools of survival, craft, and labor, knots carry rich symbolic meanings. They can signify the power of unity while also suggesting pressure, obligation, and entanglement. Requiring both control and release, knots embody tension, resiliency, and the potential to unravel. For some artists, knots emerge through systems of geometry and organic forms; for others, they speak to the joy of family, heritage and community, the challenge of migration and the anxiety that simmers beneath it all. Together, the works reveal how individual strands become larger networks of relationships, histories, and shared experience.
By foregrounding the knot as both form and metaphor, the exhibition invites viewers to consider the forces that bind us, the structures that sustain us, and what must be loosened, repaired, or reimagined.
