Diese Woche Häkeln Künstler Nathan ist Vincent, ein Mann, der Fragen von Geschlecht in der Gesellschaft erforscht mit seinem großen Maßstab häkeln Skulpturen. Ich habe zuerst über Vincent Arbeit von einem News-Artikel über ein Multi-Künstler Faserkünste zeigen bei der Bellevue Arts Museum. Vincent hatte ein Stück in der Show genannt Locker Room, in dem er eine ganze Männer-Umkleideraum repliziert mit Stricken und Häkeln, Drehen, was sein sollte “männlich” Objekte (wie Bänke und Urinale) in weiche und Fuzzy Objekte, die eine feminine Gefühl haben – somit die Erkundung der Frage des Geschlechts. Nachdem ich dabei einige mehr Forschung begann ich entdeckt, als Vincent eine ziemlich bekannte Künstler ist männlich häkeln.

Nathan Vincent war ein homeschooled Pastors Sohn, der bis in den Mittleren Westen wuchs. He got his college art education in California and then New York, developing his keen interest in using the typically feminine art of crochet to express his concerns about (and to challenge) the stereotypes of gender in society. He has been featured on Road Trip Nation and The Martha Stewart show and has had numerous exhibitions of his work in galleries throughout the nation.
Vincent explains on this site how growing up he always felt like he was trying to live up to the super masculine ideals of the adult men in his life and goes on to say that:
“By crocheting the objects that are linked to these masculine ideas I am breaking down the barrier of traditional gender permissions. The objects are no longer rough and manly, but soft and inviting. They evoke the feminine. The non-traditional sculpting process of crochet allows me to draw attention to the challenges of defining gender identities.”

This Bellevue Arts Museum show is still up for another two weeks and incidentally was created with yarn donated by Lion Brand.
