I wish that I had made it to this exhibit's opening but am totally hoping to make it over and see it. Plus I know some of the fabulous artists included so even more reason to head over.
March 26 – May 6, 2011
Art/Sewn
Group Show, curated by Ward Mintz
Artists:
Emily Barletta, Sandy Benjamin-Hannibal
Denise Burge Elisa D’Arrigo
Linnea Glatt Janet Henry
Cyrilla Mozenter Jessica Rankin
Laura Splan, Anna Von Mertens
The exhibition focuses on work where sewing is integral to the making and looking experience. Art/Sewn attempts to blur the distinction between art and craft, so relevant to today’s art world when so-called fine art has adopted craft forms and techniques and craft artists are making non-functional work. What the work shares is sewing—sewing on woven fabric, on paper, felt and skins. Sewing as an artistic means, as expression, as feminist statement.
