“Reinventing the Wheel”
with Artists Ann Conte and Jeanne Wiley
Friday, October 15, 2010
6—8 p.m.
Crane Arts Building
1400 N American Street
Philadelphia, PA 19122
Join Massachusetts artists Anne Conte and Jeanne Wiley
for a discussion unveiling the design inspiration behind the
“Woven Car,” an old, rusted MG Midget that was given a new life and
identity with recycled and overstock materials. The interior of the
car was transformed with sleek DuPont™ Corian® seats, windshield
frame and floor mats, while pale gold seatbelts were woven
to create a checkerboard pattern around the body of the car.
The unconventional design generated buzz among the architecture
and design community nationally and internationally, and
caught the attention of top media including
Fast Company, Inhabitat, Core77 and Contract.
