This transformative exhibition explores how abstract art and woven textiles have intertwined over the past hundred years.
See a variety of textile techniques including weaving, knitting, netting, knotting and felting.
Learn about the wide-ranging reasons artists from Anni Albers to Rosemarie Trockel and Jeffrey Gibson (Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians/Cherokee Nation) have engaged with this art form.
Some seek to effect social change; others address political issues.
Engaging with textiles as subject, material and technique, still others revitalize abstraction’s formal conventions or critique its patriarchal history and gendered identity.
