Framations: Friday, 9 September 2011
Two new exhibits open September 9 in St. Charles focusing on a burgeoning area of art - textiles. Each exhibit will offer the viewer a chance to see many forms of the media and its uses.
The first exhibit, Fiber Content, is a juried exhibit, with an open call for entries and will present work by artists throughout the St. Louis region. This exhibit, to be juried by local curator and artist Barbara Simon, is part of Innovations in Textiles 9. Innovations is a biennial collaborative event in St. Louis that investigates the state of contemporary textile art. Fiber Content will open on September 9 from 6-8pm and be on display through October 13. On the evening of the free reception, awards for this exhibit will be announced as well.
Also on display in Gallery Two from September 9 - October 13 will be another exhibit of Fiber art. According to artist Sarah Merideth, the goal of the exhibit entitled Transposed is "to demonstrate through the work the techniques used to add and remove color on fabric. To show the give and take, the manipulation and resulting design is a wonderful journey. The term Transpose means literally: to
change the relative position, order, or sequence of; cause to change places; interchange. I consider this in terms of color and design. Not only can you add to the surface, but you can always reverse or remove color and design through different bleaching and discharging techniques. Sometimes the adding and subtracting happens in so many layered steps, I lose track of the journey."
Hours: Tues - Sat 10-6, Sun 12-5, Closed Mondays
