Common Thread at Gladstone Hotel

Call Directions

Common Thread at Gladstone Hotel Art installation as part of Come Up To My Room 2015. Juxtaposition of history and materiality of carpets to contemporary design and technology.

Common Tread is an art installation by Sander Freedman, Riyad Bacchus and Andrey Chernykh. It is a project inspired by a carpet designers’ story of historical carpet design and craftsmanship in Nepal, India, and Iran. Whilst exploring the history and materiality of this trade, we are thrusted forward and deeper into this relationship with current design and technology. Bringing 2D design to a 3D installation allows for an intimate encounter with our perceptions and physicality while being enveloped in design with natural fibers and sustainable materials. Juxtaposing traditional principles of Oriental, Persian and Arabic patterns into an emergence of a new, contemporary one allows for a modern awareness based on historical ideology. Relating old and new both instills and develops our idea of a “common thread”. Let us know what you think! We would love to hear any feedback on your visit and experience. [email protected]
