“Everyone is welcome to collaborate with me on [a] daily weaving. You can choose yarns for me to use and try weaving yourself.
When each weaving is finished, I’ll cut the cloth off the loom and pin it up on the wall. I’ll label each piece with the names of my collaborators and their choices.”

Artist Talk: Bonner Sale
Join us for a conversation with current Innovation Studio Artist in Residence, Bonner Sale, and MoCA Arlington’s Curator & Resident Artist/Collector Liaison, Amanda Jirón-Murphy.
Innovation Studio Artist in Residence, Bonner Sale, discusses his practice and the work created during the residency Troubled Magic: “Opens Into Another Solarium.”
Troubled Magic is a body of work years in the making, a tribute to the fantasy films and toys Sale enjoyed as a child, and the adventures made with those stories and ideas. Through gouache painting, Sale transports himself back to those worlds and tropes, and reimagines what he’s experienced in life into what he dreamt of as a child.
This capsule collection of painted mini figures, LAZER BRAINS utilizes several film, music and television characters deconstructed, recombined, and painted to create a new identity for the toys. Sale’s toy collection is lifelong and part of the work that’s been shared in this 6-week residency at the Innovation Studio.
Tomorrow is your last chance to see The Next Big Thing at the MoCA Arlington Innovation Studio + Store. Drop in any time from 10AM - 6PM. Chris will be there from 2:30 onwards.
