“New Beat”
International Student Concours
Fashion Gallery
The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong
People's Rep. of China
5 Dec 2011 – 18 Jan 2012
As one of the oldest forms of technology known to human kind, textile technology (making of cloth) has a long history of invention. This exhibition celebrates new explorations in textiles and creative problem solving propelled by curiosity – the synthesis of a ‘new beat.’
New Beat is a juried competition featuring select works by international design students who demonstrate inspired creativity through material manipulation. Resist dyeing, such as shibori, is a specific form of traditionally patterning cloth via manipulation and dye. Its versatility combined with modern technology has gained popular appeal with contemporary artists, including major fashion icons Issey Miyake, Oscar de la Renta and Prada. Bridging this gap between traditional and contemporary poses an interesting challenge, one that the truly imaginative and creative seize as an opportunity to travel new paths in textile’s future.
Entry Fee: $15 per entry
Up to 3 entries may be submitted per artist or collaborative group

Animal Fibers: Art Informs Shibori
Deadline: 15 September 2011 (ONLINE)
Animal Fibers: Art Informs Shibori
8th International Shibori Symposium 2011: Hong Kong
Hong Kong Design Institute
4 Dec 2011- 1 Jan 2012
An international exhibition of fiber art works showcasing shibori’s inherent transformative power on material, from 2-D to 3-D. With its shape changing and volume shifting abilities, the shibori process interplays uniquely with animal-based fibers. Inventive, style-making designs exploiting this interplay have been seen on catwalks of designers such as Yoshiki Hishinuma and Jurgen Lehl and in fiber work of artists like Jean Cacicedo and Jorie Johnson. This exhibition also comments on contemporary global innovations in materials that have been with humans since primeval time. An accompanying exhibition, “Animal Fibers in Chinese Tradition,” curated by Edith Cheung, will visit the resourcefulness and beauty of traditional historical works created in China, addressing humankind’s relationship with animals in a shared environment.
The departure theme for this international exhibition is art work made from animal fiber, animal hide, or a combination of both, utilizing the principles of shaped or resisted shibori dyeing techniques. These works should be inspired by the transformative properties of materials and their potential to change surface and structure, exhibiting visual and/or dimensional transformation.
Entry Fee: $25 per entry
Up to three (3) entries may be submitted per artist or collaborative group
Curators:
Jean Williams Cacicedo
Jorie Johnson
