How should wealth be distributed, power structured, and labor organized when the focus is the shared experience of creating and consuming art?
If we could deepen our own practices as a consequence of supporting another’s would that change how we approach collaboration?
We can confront scarcity through generosity along novel dimensions: a loom is dressed and experimentation follows, a floating canvas with its incremental and iterative decorations across individuals form a chain; trust is essential for the call and response necessary for a community to thrive.
Fibers under tension, knowledge honed and shared, yield something coherent eventually.
LMRM (pronounced “loom room”) is a project space fostering opportunities for art-making, research, and community programming around digital weaving. Based in Chicago, LMRM is one of few places in the world to offer public access to a TC2 digital jacquard loom through a truly open studio model—no residency applications, no university affiliation, no institutional barriers.
Through rental equipment, workshops, events, and collaborations, LMRM strives to emphasize weaving as a contemporary art practice. We provide artists with direct access to professional-grade equipment, technical support, and a flexible environment to develop experimental work on their own terms.
Now in our third year of TC2 loom public programming, LMRM continues to grow as an artist-run resource committed to a more equitable arts ecosystem. Our model centers fair working conditions and long-term sustainability so that artists can thrive both creatively and financially. By expanding access and fostering a culture of shared learning, LMRM is working to redefine who participates in digital weaving—and what the field can become.
