Guest Introduction
Considered to be the mother of yarn bombing, Magda's 10 year body of work includes the widelyrecognized knitted/crocheted covered bus in Mexico City as well as her first solo exhibit in Rome at La Museo des Esposizione . At the beginning, the single mother decided to make a simple maintenance of her small apartment in Broolyn. She decided to use a small change to transform the first sight of her home every day.She used crochet hooks, woven a purpledoor handles.Amazing things happened in the community, families changed their doors with wool and crochet.hat is no longer used boxes, trunks, trash, all wrapped into color.Those forms, color and knitting materials can be realized, to some extent, is
simple, popular, and visually attractive. But when they have a relationship with space and concrete, humor and surprise will continue to emerging. She continues to expand her boundaries by joining integrated media company "My passion is with the material: I love displacing hand made, mostly knitted, material in environments where it seemingly doesn’t belong… only to discover that they can coexist quite harmoniously. I understand the limitations of this medium intimately, and I continue to challenge it. There is a transformation that occurs when I cover an inanimate object with soft hand made material. This interaction changes the object without taking away its identity or paralyzing its original function. It is this unplanned arrangement of the material that makes these objects come to life, become sculptural and even redefine or reinterpret a space.The exploration of environmental change drives me: provoking the world to be a more hallenging, unconventional, and interesting place."

Artists (Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse),composers (Igor Stravinsky and Erik Satie), choreographers (Michel Fokine and George Balanchine), and dancers (Vaslav Nijinsky and Anna Pavlova) all collaborated to realize Diaghilev’s dream of a seamless fusion of the arts.

She is particularly interested in theinteraction between internal psychological space and external environmental spaces. This led her to set up “N Space Body Project” which creates residencies to place the “soft” body in different “hard” constructed spaces. These investigatehow the presence of the body and the space in which it is situated affect each other, and how the distribution of bodily energy in different spaces impacts the audience’s visual and psycho-emotional reactions. She has collaborated with such artists as Germany’s Munchner Kammerspiele on “Totally Happy”; Belgium’s Tino Sehgal in “This Variation”; and US/China’s Hou Ying in “Time,”among others. Gu Jiani is also a painter, and sees that visual medium as symbiotic in designing the special relations of her ography.
