Warp and Weft: Technologies within Textiles, an exhibition curated by Allison Glenn is on view from January 25 – May 3, 2025. Warp and Weft considers how artists experiment with new technologies, interrogate materials, and embed innovative, inherited, familial, or ancestral epistemologies into their practices, to foreground narrative and allegory. From the invention of and subsequent improvements to the Jacquard loom, to the reframing of traditional weaving styles, and the incorporation of computers and other forms of machination, there is a long history of technologies located within, and born of, deep engagements with textiles.
Warp and Weft: Technologies within Textiles brings together a wide spectrum of styles, histories, and approaches. Many artists in Warp and Weft have primarily textile-based practices, while others incorporate textiles and fabrics into largely experimental bodies of work. This range speaks to the materials’ expansiveness. The exhibition will run from January 25 – May 3, 2025. Stay tuned for programming dates.
