The works on view-including Tommy Joseph’s wearable men’s suit made with Tlingit totemic motifs and Carrie Mae Weems’ Adam and Eve-inspired embroidered folding screen-demonstrate FWM’s distinct approach, one based on cultivating situations for artistic collaboration and experimentation while also collecting and preserving contemporary art for future generations. While the first two exhibitions in the series- Fabric As… and Workshop As…-explored how material and process have shaped the outcome of past residencies, Museum As… focuses on FWM’s role as a museum, a word that wasn’t added to the institution’s name until 1996, nearly 20 years after its founding. Museum As…serves as the third and final installment in a trilogy of exhibitions that began in September 2020, all designed to interrogate The Fabric Workshop and Museum’s name. Both exhibitions will be on view until September 10, 2023. Shopworks explores how collaborations between the FWM Studio and artists have resulted in a robust decades-long program of artist multiples. Museum As… explores FWM’s function as a museum that encourages artists, through collaborations with FWM, to expand their artistic practice with new techniques and ways of working.

Is Bruce singing from his imagination, or is this how he truly experiences coming down from his on-stage high? We don’t know, but this would not be the last time Bruce would visit this theme. When you’re standing in the middle of a crowd and you feel so alone When the music stops, the communal connection is broken, and the introverted artist who just entertained thousands is now isolated and withdrawn from the crowd he so recently commanded:Įmpty love bands bled the last chords down We’re covering walking a dark, lonely road here: the narrator, like Bruce, is a musician, describing the moments immediately following the end of a concert festival. ![]() On the first day of September 1971, The Bruce Springsteen Band (consisting of Bruce, Stevie, Garry, Vini, and David Sancious) played a free concert in Garfield Park in Long Branch, New Jersey.īuried in the middle of the set was this haunting song, performed virtually as a solo piano number (with Bruce playing, not Sancious, and the rest of the band lurking in the background showing great restraint).
