An exhibition exploring the work of several generations of exceptional artists who use fiber materials and techniques will be shown in ATHM's changing exhibit gallery from April 12 through July 20, 2003. Six internationally recognized artists were invited to exhibit work spanning their careers. Then each chose both an artist who influenced their early career and an innovative emerging artist for inclusion in the exhibit.
Lichtenstein Teapot/Oh, Jeff, 2001,
by Kate Anderson
Knotted waxed linen
8.5 x 10 x 1.75”
Collection of Ginger and Irvin Gomprecht
The artists use a wide range of techniques, including hand- and computer-assisted weaving; tapestry; knotted, coiled and constructed sculptural forms; collage; embroidery; and a variety of traditional and innovative dyeing and patterning methods. Exhibited pieces will include works of both monumental and intimate scale, using natural and synthetic materials, and both abstract and representational images.
Generations/Transformations will show the origins and progress of the fiber art movement from the perspective of the artists themselves, with artists' statements, early photographs, and printed materials displayed with the artworks. By showing works from different stages of their careers, we will follow the influence of the first generation of artists and the directions taken by their students in expanding the possibilities of fiber as an expressive medium.
