The T/Shirt Issue in ‘Out of Hand’ at the Museum of Art and Design

Part of the Museum of Art and Design’s exhibition ‘Out of Hand,’ which showcases art and design made using digital fabrication, this extraordinary sweatshirt was created by scanning a model’s body, digitally modeling a garment that relates personally in some way to the model (in this case, a man fascinated by a story of a boy raised by a wolf), CNC laser cutting the fabric and hand assembling. (Through June 1st).

The T/Shirt Issue, No 419 from Digital Portraits Series, jersey, iron-on interface, 2008.

Jim Campbell at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery

San Francisco-based artist Jim Campbell works with sophisticated technology to make low-res images that offer a fragment of the information we’re used to in the HD age; yet images like this one of a yellow cab whizzing by hold viewers’ attention by capturing the recognizable action of the street. (At Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery through April 19th. Also at the Museum of the Moving Image in Long Island City through June 15th.)

Anoka Faruqee and Michael DeLucia in ‘On the Grid’ at Lu Magnus Gallery

The artists in Lu Magnus Gallery’s summer group show ‘On the Grid’ mediate between technology and the handmade:  Anoka Faruqee’s (background) pattern paintings look computer generated but are determined by intuitive hand painting, while Michael DeLucia’s (foreground) creates his patterned, wood sculptures on a screen, then brings them into reality.  (On the Lower East Side through Aug 2nd).
