Woven Rhythms: Textile, Music, Motion | Qianwen Yu

The Evanston Art Center (EAC) is excited to welcome the public to our upcoming exhibition, Woven Rhythms: Textile, Music, Motion. The exhibition will be on display from November 9-December 15, 2024, and will be free and open to the public.

In Woven Rhythms: Textile, Music, Motion artist Qianwen Yu brings together three works—“Weaving Philip Glass’s Opening,” “Woven Symphony,” and “The Rhythm Behind the City”—to demonstrate how rhythm, texture, and motion can transcend traditional boundaries, linking the tactile, auditory, and visual elements of weaving, music, and architecture. Through these works, Yu aims to create a sensory experience that encourages viewers to explore the fluidity between art forms, revealing the hidden patterns and structures that connect them.

By translating music into textiles, weaving into sound, and the city's "skin" into animation, this exhibition invites audiences to engage with familiar mediums in new ways. Whether through the repetitive musical pattern of woven fabric, the pictorial texture of a symphony, or the geometric rhythm of city's "skin" animated in motion, each piece underscores the interconnectedness of these art forms, Yu hopes to make these art forms accessible to diverse audiences, including those with sensory impairments.
