Wednesday’s Video

"In a small room that connects Iskasokpu Gallery to the home of Iva Honyestewa, floor-to-ceiling shelves line the walls and a window looks out over an Arizona canyon striated in color. Iva—Hopi name Honwynum, which means Female Bear Walking—weaves two traditional Hopi baskets, the coil (poota) and the sifter (tutsaya).

For Iva, basketweaving is both a spiritual endeavor and a communal activity. When she weaves alone, it's meditation. When she weaves with others, it’s a time to talk and laugh."

Today we’re viewing “de/re CONSTRUCT,” featu

Today we’re viewing “de/re CONSTRUCT,” featuring collaborative works by Tanabe Chikuunsai IV & Sawako Kaijima, along with photography-inspired pieces by Kensuke Koike. Curated by Schoeni Projects, the exhibition was held at Cromwell Place, London in 2022

"de/re CONSTRUCT features works by Tanabe Chikuunsai IV & Sawako Kaijima and Kensuke Koike who explore themes of deconstructing the past, and the use of technology to reconstruct them into contemporary visual artworks. It celebrates the artists craftsmanship and multidisciplinary art forms with the goal to inspire dialogue and creative exchange.

Tanabe Chikuunsai IV (b.1973, Osaka), a gifted and versatile fourth-generation bamboo artist, has carried on his family’s legacy and drawn on inspiration from his heritage to elevate a long line of bamboo craftsmanship into modern art. By collaborating with Sawako Kaijima (b.1976, Tokyo), a computational specialist and Assistant Professor at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, the duo used software and 3D-printed moulds to aid the design of mathematically complex structures which Chikuunsai IV then masterfully translated into the medium of bamboo”

Welcome to BASKETRY+ Saturday, an opportunity to peek into past issues of NBO’s seminal publication.

This week we’re featuring “Three Quarter Time” by Karen Gubitz. Karen was profiled in the Spring 2019 issue of NBO’s magazine. This installation was created with students and alumni of Macalaster College, St. Paul, Minnesota, in connection with NBO’s 2015 national conference.

NBO Featured Friday Scott Gilbert

"In 1982 Scott Gilbert began making white oak and honeysuckle baskets and marketing them at local and regional venues including the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen and the Kentucky Crafts Marketing Program. He studied with Ollie and Lestel Childress, 4th and 5th generation white oak basket makers from Park City, Kentucky, and, in 1984, began teaching basket workshops and classes in Allen and surrounding counties in Southcentral Kentucky.

In 2013 one of Scott’s white oak egg baskets was included in the exhibit A Measure of the Earth: The Cole-Ware Collection of American Baskets at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC. A Measure of the Earth explores the revival of traditional basketry in America during the past fifty years through works by sixty-three contemporary basketmakers who have gathered and woven with native materials. What an awesome honor!

Scott continues to produce baskets and other art work."
