Orly Cogan: Children of Eden
Orly Cogan uses embroidery to transform vintage printed textiles into contemporary explorations of feminine archetypes and stereotypes. Drawing upon historic events, pop-culture, fairy tales, and personal experiences, she creates humorous and imaginative hand-stitched narratives that consider themes such as sexuality, feminism, domesticity, and power to portray the evolving role of women in society.

Andy Warhol: #NOFILTER
“A picture means I know where I was every minute. That’s why I take pictures. It’s a visual diary.” Andy Warhol
Upon his death in 1987, Andy Warhol (born 1928) left behind a vast archive of art work, hundreds of thousands of photographs, Polaroids, cassette tapes, ephemera, and a personal collection of antiques and collectables. The artist was a compulsive diarist and obsessive collector who documented his life by saving the detritus of everyday, eventually filling more than six hundred cardboard boxes with receipts, cards, flyers, postcards, napkins, tickets and letters. His proclivity to chronical his life also included recording encounters with friends and acquaintances by taping their conversations on a portable cassette recorder he jokingly referred to as his “wife,” or photographing them with a Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera, called the Big Shot, or with one of several small 35mm cameras he carried habitually.
