Textiles & Fibers 2012

Call to FIBER Artists-Oct. 15, 2010

No Fees, minimal on-line submission

Contact: Teri Yoo: tyoo@fsu.edu

The FSU Museum of Fine Arts will be hosting an exhibition in the Spring of 2012 that will revolve  around contemporary artists use of fibers: by definition, that includes all 2-dimensional works (such as tapestries, embroideries, quilts) as well as all installations and works of art that are made from fibers (for example: fabric, wood, sculptural constructions of materials that may be either natural or synthetic). The curatorial team is committed to highlighting traditional fibers work associated with women’s lives throughout history; one section of the catalogue will set into the context of the 21st century art world those aesthetic domestic skills that were reclaimed and reinvented by feminist artists in the 1970s. MoFA is eager to see what else may be available by artists working in contemporary idiom and with organic or surprising and unusual fibers, today.
