From Loom to Screen:
A Conversation Across Generations
Featuring Beryl Korot and Sabrina Gschwandtner
Moderated by Video Craft Co-Curator Sarah Mills, PhD
Thursday, March 19 | 6–7 PM (Doors open at 5:30 PM)The Museum of Craft and Design is honored to present a rare West Coast appearance by pioneering video artist Beryl Korot, in conversation with visual artist and filmmaker Sabrina Gschwandtner. Korot helped shape the language of contemporary media through groundbreaking work that bridges video and craft disciplines. This special event offers audiences the chance to hear directly from this foundational artist about her practice.
Internationally recognized for pioneering multi-channel installations such as Dachau 1974 and Text and Commentary, Korot helped define video art at its inception. Deeply influenced by Korot’s work, artist Sabrina Gschwandtner explores the interconnected histories of textile production and the moving image, sewing together discarded 16mm filmstrips into quilt-like compositions.
Don’t miss this landmark conversation between two Video Craft artists, tracing how traditions of craft continue to encode meaning within contemporary moving-image media.
Tickets are limited for this special program, and advance reservations are strongly recommended.
