Twist Out Cancer Inspired Exhibits at the WNDR Museum

Twist Out Cancer Inspired Exhibits at the WNDR Museum

Two exhibits at WNDR Museum inspired by Twist Out Cancer’s Brushes With Cancer program
will open to the public on Friday, October 7, and be on view through Wednesday, November 30.
Located at 1130 W. Monroe Street in the West Loop, WNDR Museum is Chicago’s original art and
technology experience filled with interactive artworks by cutting edge artists, collectives,
technologists, designers, and makers.

The “Brushes with Cancer” exhibit from Giorgia Lupi and Pentagram is a work of 278 interwoven
brushstrokes, representing the moments or collaborations between Twist Out Cancer’s
Inspirations and Artists, as they came together to change each other’s lives. Their names and personal quotes line the brushstrokes to highlight the emotional impact of the Brushes With
Cancer program on its participants. Pentagram is a multi-disciplinary, independently owned
design studio.

“Woven Wonders” was created by Architect Inti Velez Botero, designer Daniel Mancini, and artist
Iris Joval from Wanda Barcelona to foster an environment of love and warmth, showing the
beauty and ephemeralness of life. Woven Wonders is a three-dimensional interpretation of the
Brushes With Cancer program that uses paper laced together to show our personal connections to
cancer. Paper strands are intertwined, referring to a brush stroke and all of our connections to
cancer. The piece was made with a wicker-weaving technique through craftsmanship by 12 highly
skilled artisans in Barcelona.
