Pattern Research Project: An Investigation of The Pattern And Printing Process - Shippo Tsunagi
2017 Pattern Research Project
Emilie Krysa - Shippo Tsunagi Pattern
The Pattern Research Project involves research and analysis of contemporary patterns found in the textiles and wallcoverings of the built interior environment. Patterns use motif, repetition, color, geometry, craft, technology, and space to communicate place, time, and concept. Through this research and analysis, built environments - their designers, occupants, construction, and context - can be better understood.
Emilie Krysa, VCU Interior Design BFA 2020, selected the Shippo Tsunagi pattern for the 2017 Pattern Research Project. The text below is excerpted from the student’s work:
“[The] Shippo pattern originates from Japan and dates to the Heian period (794-1185 AD)... The pattern is called ‘shippo’ in Japanese, which means ‘cloisonne,’ which is an ancient form of enameling… The pattern was traditionally embroidered on by hand or it was hand dyed/painted in a very long and tedious process by professionals. ‘Shashiko,’ which is a basic running stitch, is one style of embroidery that Shippo is often depicted. Today Shippo can be applied to nearly every surface imaginable through digital printing.”https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/prp/1006/thumbnail.jp
La Boheme
One of the most popular and beloved operas of all time, La Bohème was composed in December 1895 by Giacomo Puccini. He became interested in the Scènes de Ia vie de Bohème, a novel by Henri Murger in the winter of 1892-3, before the premiere of Manon Lescaut. His intention to base an opera on Murger\u27s novel involved him in controversy with Leoncavallo, who claimed precedence on the novel in 1893 in his publisher\u27s periodical, II secolo. Leoncavallo asserted that he already had artists in mind and that this fact was well known by Puccini. This assertion was quickly rebutted by Puccini, writing the next day to II carriere della sera. His letter stated that he welcomed the chance to compete with his rival while allowing the public to judge the better composer

Exhibitionary practices at the intersection of academic research and public display
This text responds to the situation of the field with regard to Artistic Research by drawing attention to the recent shift of discussions towards curating, and more specifically exhibition making, in terms of research practices. The intention is to reflect on the current transformation of contemporary exhibitionary practices and point to an understanding of exhibitionary formats as forms of critical inquiry and knowledge production. I ask how exhibition research might advance more general thinking about research as a way of addressing urgent questions, and what makes exhibition research a distinctive proposition? Thinking about curating in this way would seem not only to have the potential to facilitate non-regulated relations between human subjects but also demonstrates the potential for new epistemological and ontological insights into subject-object relations more broadly
