Material Intelligence

Inspired by Material Intelligence magazine’s exploration of individual commonplace materials, this exhibition foregrounds two key substances–linen and glass–and invites visitors to experiment with many more. "Threads" explores the metaphorical vibrancy of linen and other fibers through the work of Ann Coddington. "Spheres of Influence" reveals how the material possibilities of glass and the embodied skills of glassmakers have shaped intellectual life at UW-Madison.
