February Program - Julia Halperin |

Zoom MeetingsDay Meeting Presentation: A History of Fiber and Textile Art and Its Relationship to the Art WorldFrom the early 1960s to the late ’70s, in a chapter of art history known as the fiber art movement, artists — predominantly women — across Europe and the United States began experimenting with thread and fabric, often pushing them into three dimensions and away from the wall. This program will examine key figures in this movement, including Magdalena Abakanowicz, Lenore Tawney, and Sheila Hicks. It will also explore how their work has been received in the art world and how mainstream institutions today are re-evaluating fiber art after decades of dismissal. Evening Meeting Presentation: Textile and Fiber Art: A Survey of Contemporary PractitionersIn an age when we spend much of our time touching the flat surfaces of screens, fiber art feels newly seductive to makers and viewers alike as both a contrast with and a culmination of modern sensory experience. Today, a new generation of ambitious and experimental artists are embracing fiber and textiles for themselves. This program will explore the work of a number of exciting contemporary practitioners in the fiber art space, including Tao Lewis, Marie Watt, Kira Dominguez Hultgren, and Melissa Cody. |

Announcements
Logan Lecture: Sonya Clark
Tuesday, Dec. 10, at 6 pm • Denver Art Museum, Sharp Auditorium – Hamilton Building, Lower Level
Sonya Clark transforms everyday fiber materials—hair, flags, and found fabrics—into profound statements on race, culture, and class. Working with her chosen objects, Clark weaves, stitches, folds, braids, dyes, pulls, and snips threads of ideas to create new little-known objects from American history, and sought to bring greater visibility to figures from the African
diaspora.
This lecture is co-sponsored by the Avenir Institute of Textile Arts and Fashion and the Modern and Contemporary Art department.
