Urban Warp/ Weft is an investigation of the aesthetic imagination of
“re-use”, “recycle” and “green”, current buzzwords in Chicago art and
politics. Exploring ecological connections in the built world, the project
features combinations of recycled material. The artists have constructed the project as a two part process, positioning brainstorming and construction as equals. Their admittedly utopian vision is to generate a new conversation around the notion of social “sustainability” and process, in dialogue with architects, engineers, artists and industry. As the artists state, "The goal is to appreciate dialogue in its role of activating research as part of an ongoing collaborative material study."

Browder and Keeler have established a blog as part of that research
process. Please visit: http://urbanwarpweft.blogspot.com/
