Past Exhibitions

Picturing Light:
Artists Explore Luminosity

September 21–October 27, 2024

 
Picturing Light, which was a follow-up to Picturing Space (2019), was an exploration of the many manifestations of light. The exhibition brought together the work of fine artists and photographers, and exhibition, textile, and interior designers who respond to natural and artificial light. The specific focus was on work that makes light its primary subject matter, not just as the means to reveal other content. Some of the work explored the visible spectrum scientifically. Other pieces created environmental experiences through controlled lighting.

It’s a Kid’s World; Play, Imagine, Create

August 9 – September 3, 2024

When designing for young children it is important to experience the world as they do. This form of empathy allows for deeper sense connection and understanding.

It’s a Kid’s World! Play, Imagine, Create,  embraced the imagination of a child and what it means to design for young audiences. In this exhibition, play, inquiry, and wonder took center stage, through interactive and educational components designed to engage visitors and showcase the work of FIT students in Fashion Design (Childrenswear), Toy Design, Illustration, Textile Surface Design and Footwear and Accessories Design. 

In the back gallery, a selection of work from a special project by the nonprofit adoption services organization Spence-Chapin titled “Dear Future: Elevating Children's Voices" highlights the stories of a group of children residing in an orphanage in Cali, Colombia. Featuring photography, video work, and vibrant costumes, the project explores the possibilities that emerge when vulnerable children are given the space to dream.

Curated by FIT Associate Professor of Fine Arts Julia Jacquette, this exhibition at the Fashion Institute of Technology featured work that utilizes and explores all aspects of repetition and pattern.

Pattern, the Grid, and Other Systems included two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and time-based artwork from FIT faculty, students, and distinguished alumni, as well as from guest artists. In addition, panel discussions and talks by participating artists and guest lecturers took place during the run of the exhibition.
