A Beautiful Mess: Weavers & Knotters of the Vanguard

In A Beautiful Mess, diverse women artists showcase their mastery of various mediums, crafting artworks ranging from micro pieces to room-sized installations. Using materials like rope, yarn, clay, and wire, these conceptual artists create sculptures that span from minimalist to chaotic, exploring personal and political themes with a rule-breaking approach. Their works demonstrate exceptional technical skill and carry a strong cultural and intellectual impact. With each artist’s unique perspective, they challenge the genre by using unconventional materials and delving into personal memories and complex histories. 

North Dakota Museum of Art is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM and Saturdays/Sundays from 1 to 5 PM.
