Stop, Drop, Repeat: THE PRINTED WORK OF MARLIS SAUNDERS

Stop, Drop, Repeat is the Design Exchange’s first major exhibition on pattern design and Canada’s first look at the exceptional work by a Canadian Bauhaus pioneer, Marlis Saunders, running from March 7–April 23, 2012. The Exhibition gathers over a hundred works on paper that reflect the broad range of Saunders’ career. Admission is FREE for DX Members, $10 Adult, $8 Student/Seniors. Exhibition themes will focus on three main stylistic developments in Saunders’ career: The Bauhaus Style and Abstraction, Aboriginal Influence, and Flora and Fauna. Each section will explore related moments in art and design history, the work of her contemporaries, the technical aspects of her work, and give visitors the opportunity to develop their own patterns utilizing smart grid technology. Special programming devoted to textiles/patterns will take place at the Design Exchange during the Exhibition. For more information please visit http://bit.ly/atg4Qo.
