ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR DIANNA FRID AND CECILIA VICUÑA: A TEXTILE EXHIBITION

Sep 4, 2015 – Nov 27, 2015

In this exhibition, the artists investigate the intersection of weaving, textiles, and language, with works that allude to the form of the book, the loom, and other manifestations of fiber and text. Cecilia Vicuña installs a new iteration of "The Origin of Weaving," a poem in space that traces the symbolic invention of the first cross thread from which all weaving is derived. Dianna Frid’s works explore the material overlaps of text and textile.
