For this Artists at Work, ISCP artist-in-residence Oriane Stender is joined by artist and curator Jeanne Heifetz. Stender will present on the past twenty-five years of her practice and speak with Heifetz about her work’s relationship to the history of textiles and the weaving tradition. They will also position weaving within the context of artmaking today. Their conversation will be followed by a Q&A.

She makes woven paintings, carrying on ancient traditions of weaving as a practice of knowledge and power for women. Stender has exhibited work at de Young/Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, California; MATtam Manto Arte Temporanea Art, Italy; and Pierogi Gallery, New York, among others.
