Prairie Interlace: Weaving, Modernisms, and the Expanded Frame, 1960–2000 - Curator Walkthrough
On View until 18 February 2024—Prairie Interlace: Weaving, Modernisms, and the Expanded Frame, 1960–2000! This exhibition looks back to the explosion of innovative textile-based art on the Canadian Prairies during the second half of the twentieth century.
With a focus on weaving and other interlace practices, such as rug hooking and crochet, the exhibition examines how artists of diverse backgrounds wove new histories of fibre during a period of intense energy and collective creativity. This touring exhibition features sixty-one artworks by forty-eight artists and draws on public and private collections from across Canada.
