Mark Newport's 'SWEATERMAN' exhibition features hand-knit superhero costumes at Palos Verdes Art Center

Mark Newport's exhibition 'SWEATERMAN' presents hand-knit superhero costumes at the Palos Verdes Art Center. The installation includes multiple knitted garments displayed as part of a solo presentation. Photographer Monica Orozco documented the exhibition, which remains on view through November 16, 2014. The Palos Verdes Art Center organized this showcase of Newport's textile-based work. Artcritical published coverage of the exhibition on October 30, 2014. Newport's practice reimagines traditional masculine archetypes through domestic craft techniques. His knitted costumes subvert expectations of superhero iconography with handmade vulnerability. The exhibition highlights contemporary intersections between fiber art and popular culture.
