Margaret Weber at Ramiken Crucible

In one of the Lower East Side’s standout shows of the moment, Margaret Weber meticulously deconstructs large sections of commercial carpeting to create two monumental wall hangings and a floor piece, changing a drab, industrial product into an airy, handcrafted textile.  (At Ramiken Crucible, through June 23rd).
