Esta semana, artista crochê é Nathan Vincent, um homem que explora questões de gênero na sociedade, com suas esculturas de crochê em larga escala. Eu aprendi sobre a obra de Vincent a partir de uma reportagem sobre as artes de fibra multi-artista mostrar no Bellevue Arts Museum. Vincent tinha um pedaço do show chamado Locker Room em que ele replicado vestiário de um dos homens inteiros usando tricô e crochê, transformando o que deveria ser “masculino” objetos (como bancos e mictórios) em objetos macios e difusa que têm um toque feminino – explorando, assim, a questão de gênero. Depois que eu comecei a fazer mais algumas pesquisas, descobri que Vincent é um artista de crochê macho bastante conhecido.
Mais sobre o artista crochê Nathan Vincent
Nathan Vincent era filho de um pastor ensinada em casa que cresceu no Centro-Oeste. 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.
