Last September, 1014 kicked off the Fall season with the exhibition Delirious Disruptions by German artist Annette Cords, featuring her Jacquard tapestries, works on paper, and digital prints. Through diverse media and approaches, Cords explored the material culture of the city and the layered messages that coexist, amplify, and void each other in the built environment.
From now until December 3, the Jacquared tapestries exploring urban life and typography will be included in an exhibition, “Structure and Story”, part of the 2024 New Member cohort at EFA Studios in Midtown!
