Ad Hoc

Press Release

Studio2M invites artists to create and present work in a historic SoHo loft, functioning as both workshop and exhibition space. On the occasion of its inaugural exhibition, Studio2M, founded by Abby Caulkins in 2026, has asked French artist Marie Hazard, and Portuguese designer, Constança Entrudo, to collaborate on a body of work. The result, Ad Hoc, is anchored in shared materials and references; the intention is to provoke a dialogue between the disciplines of art and fashion – deconstructing their usual hierarchies from the inside out. 

Hazard and Entrudo met while studying Textile Design at Central Saint Martins. A decade of friendship and creative dialogue has framed their individual practices. Through a shared visual language, Ad Hoc is able to be a true collaboration between two disciplines – art and fashion are equally considered. As a result, the output belongs to neither artist or designer, Hazard or Entrudo, but rather to their collective body of work. Though their practices appear distinct, both Hazard’s tactile compositions and Entrudo’s digitally layered textiles probe weaving as a language and the intersection of craft and technology. Both consider the time required to produce a textile and how that temporal register has shifted with new technologies. 

Hazard has developed a distinctive weaving approach that blends painting, photography, and language. Hazard creates textiles with poetic narrative qualities and more recently, immersive installations combining weaving, beading, and crochet. Having pioneered her signature “(un)woven” technique at Central Saint Martins – by fusing recycled yarns with precise heat – Entrudo has continued to produce vibrant textiles and cutting-edge garments that question the limits of traditional weaving practices. Her conceptual presentations blur the boundaries between fashion show and performance. 

Ad Hoc realizes a long-held desire between Hazard and Entrudo to collaborate and is also shaped by the history of Studio2M’s space. Studio2M was formerly the live-work loft of sculptor Jackie Winsor, represented by Paula Cooper Gallery. When the women of Ad Hoc first began working together at Studio2M last fall, they happened upon a 1992 ArtNews interview in which Winsor discussed her first encounter with an artist meeting called ‘Ad Hoc’. The Ad Hoc Committee of Women Artists, founded in the 1970s, was a regular SoHo gathering of over 100 women formed in response to the underrepresentation of female artists in the Whitney Biennial. The ArtNews piece provided a connective thread, bridging two generations. 

The mission of Ad Hoc is to create a place for exchange and dialogue between disciplines and to question their currency in our modern world. It is a consideration of the connections between fabric, space and the body. For these women, scale to the human form is always present and therefore is the equalizer between art and craft. 

Constança Entrudo (b. 1994, Lisbon, Portugal) 

Constança Entrudo is a textile artist and designer whose practice investigates the boundaries of materiality, craft, and technology. She is recognized for developing her signature “(un)woven” technique, in which recycled yarns are fused through processes of heat and manipulation, resulting in vibrant and layered textile surfaces which she first developed at Central Saint Martins. Her work merges digital printing, painting, and textile construction, proposing new possibilities for weaving while questioning notions of durability and permanence. Her practice draws inspiration from media such as literature, film, and fine art which is evident in her exploration of both historic craft and technologies of the modern moment. 

Often staged through conceptual presentations that occupy a space between fashion show and performance, Entrudo’s projects have been exhibited internationally within the contexts of museums and art institutions such as the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum (Lisbon), 99 Canal (New York), and La Fonda (Biarritz). Her practice foregrounds textiles as a medium of experimentation and critical inquiry, situating itself at the intersection of the artisanal and the digital. 

After earning her BA in Textile Design from Central Saint Martins (London, 2017) Entrudo worked in the storied Paris house of Balmain before founding her eponymous label in 2018, bringing her experience abroad to production in Portugal. In 2025 Entrudo won a Globos de Ouro (Portuguese Golden Globe) for Fashion Personality of the Year and in 2026 was invited by the UN to speak on a panel about the future of fashion in the age of AI. Entrudo and French artist, Marie Hazard, will be in residence at Cheruby, Shanghai summer 2026 to further develop Ad Hoc, their collaborative concept. Ad Hoc also was selected as a 2026 recipient for funding from the Institut Française Programme International de Diffusion Artistique (PIDA) in support of its 2027 Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian (CAM) presentation.

Marie Hazard b. 1994, Le Havre, France 

Marie Hazard is a Paris-based weaver and artist whose work bridges traditional craftsmanship with industrial textile techniques. Since earning her BA in Textile Design from Central Saint Martins (London, 2017), Hazard has been experimenting with weaving, blending handcrafts like plain weave with digital printing to create a unique visual language. Her practice integrates media such as photography, painting, and literature, allowing her to reinterpret both ancient and modern techniques. Hazard's art draws inspiration from a diverse array of influences, including modernist textile pioneer Anni Albers and the Arte Povera movement. 

Her work has been exhibited internationally, including solo and group shows at Dallas Contemporary (2025); Fondation Alina Szapocznikow, Warsaw; Mobilier National & Institut Français d’Amérique Latine, Mexico City (2024); Villa Belleville, Paris (2023); Galeria Mascota, Mexico City (2022); and Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (2019). Her work has also been presented at the Centre Tignous d’Art Contemporain (2025). In 2026, she is developing a research project and exhibition on hemp weaving with 91530 Le Marais, and will present work at the Centre d’Art de l'Espace Concret and the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City. 

She won the Clothworkers’ Material Fund Prize in 2017. Additionally, Hazard’s work has been collected by Museo Jumex (2024). In 2022, Hazard co-founded the Potyra project aimed at building a youth art center in Serra Grande, Bahia, Brazil, to nurture young artists. That same year, Zolo Press published her debut monograph. Hazard is the recipient of the prestigious THREAD residency at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Senegal for 2024 and has been selected for their residency in Bethany in 2027. Hazard and Portuguese designer, Constança Entrudo, will be in residence at Cheruby, Shanghai summer 2026 to further develop Ad Hoc, their collaborative concept. Ad Hoc also was selected as a 2026 recipient for funding from the Institut Française Programme International de Diffusion Artistique (PIDA) in support of its 2027 Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian (CAM) presentation.
