I didn’t know whether ‘Up in the Air’<\/a> would be picked up by the local press, but the 23 July edition of Express and Echo gave it a couple of inches in What’s On, just before the end of the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the same day, Chemistry World published an article<\/a> entitled “Weaving is believing”, which mentioned Particulart among other means of representing chemistry in yarn. Chemistry World is published by the Royal Society of Chemistry, “bringing you the latest chemistry news and research every day”. Can’t get much more illustrious than that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re still inclined to see knitting and needlework through that stereotypical prism \u2013 all Women\u2019s Institutes and tea cosies \u2013 you\u2019d better wake up. Knitting is radical. Just look up guerilla knitting, or yarn bombing: textile-based graffiti of a sort that deserves to give street art a good name. Its potential to register gently subversive protest has inspired two artists in the West Country [alright my luvver!], under the name Particulart<\/a>, to knit molecules implicated in air pollution and climate change: you can download the patterns and make your own cuddly molecules, should you wish.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And the exhibition was featured in a nice post<\/a> by Nicky Shobeiry on the Glorious Gallery blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Sulphur hexafluoride\u2019, \u2018Tetrafluoromethane\u2019 and \u2018Fluorform\u2019 [sic] might not be words you expect to see as part of your everyday art exhibition, but then again, Clare Bryden is not your everyday artist (if there even is such a thing!). With a background in science, economics, energy and the environment, Clare\u2019s \u2018Up in the Air\u2019 exhibit is one with a very particular message about our climate. Below, I speak to her about it all \u2013 including the importance of squishy knitted molecules.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
