Celebrating the new David T. Beals Studios for Art & Technology at the Kansas City Art Institute, this exhibition embraces indeterminacy, experimentation, discovery and the potential of digitally fabricated art. In addition to finished works made in the Beals Studios, it features the creative process with the inclusion of prototypes, computer aided drawings, experiments and documentation, First Cut highlights select student works across various fields revealing the evolution of ideas as they engage technology. Bryan Czibesz, one of the top makers in the field of ceramics using digital technologies, conducted a workshop at KCAI last fall. With the assistance of students, he created the 3D printer capable of printing directly with clay which will be on display and functioning in this exhibit.

Fiber is pleased to have multiple students participate in this exhibition!
