In an interactive installation put together by the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), brothers Steven and William Ladd will host a “Scrollathon” during all three days of the show. The brothers invented Scrollathons as a means of engaging the community to create original works of art—from strips of fabric that would otherwise be thrown away. The brothers then arrange the scrolls into “landscapes” that become a larger artwork, one that at times resembles a modern take on the whimsical circles that appear in works by Klimt or Klee.
