TANGENTES: Age-Old Fiber Techniques Meet Modern Form | January 14 - February 27, 2027
An exhibition bringing together the work of three visionary textile artists, Claire Crewes, Alice Wiese and Erica Tanov. By utilizing ancient techniques through a distinctly modern lens, each artist charts a completely different trajectory for the pliant medium of fiber.
The exhibition explores the profound physical and tactile boundaries of contemporary craft, demonstrating how traditional, age-old methodologies, including embroidery, weaving and macramé, continue to evolve into innovative artistic languages.
Derived from the Latin root for touch, TANGENTES investigates how a single, humble foundational element – a strand of thread, yarn or cord – can bend, intersect and ultimately branch off into entirely distinct artistic expressions.
