Cutting Edge: A Celebration of Fibers

September 17, 2010 - October 11, 2010

Opening September 17, 2010 8-11pm.

Artist's Talk date TBA

The exhibition, Cutting Edge: A Celebration of Fibers, curated by Joetta Maue, a celebrated textile artist recently known for her series of embroideries and images exploring intimacy. This exhibition will feature works from various fiber artists and present a large array of textile mediums from stationary installations to video work.

“This exhibition focuses on how artists are using fiber and techniques in truly unexpected ways either through their subject matter or the actual techniques of construction”, explains Ms. Maue. “Fibers are without boundaries - the purpose of this exhibit is to show that there are no rules. The show is going to be an incredible, not to miss exhibit with truly exciting work from prominent and unknown fiber artists. Any one who has an interest in fiber as a means of expression should not miss it.”

Textile Arts Center is located at 505 Carroll St, Brooklyn, NY 11215.
