the delicate stitched one, i like the line work, with the figure in the middle. funnily enough that last one elicited an automatic yawn from me, and another one just now as i continue to look at it! k.
Good point! When I did my degree, I had my eyes opened to how much of art history is 'his' story. You'd think that textile art would include more women wouldn't you?
as i look here it look more like this was curated as an art show and not a textile show, does that make sense? i know there is an overlap but the feel is wrong. i am not sue about the male female thing. is it odd?
Thanks I enjoyed seeing....the more things change the more they stay the same. It's not that men are not capable, it's just that women are so much better. There I've said it.......I sorry there weren't more women.
interesting works...i like the architectural style of the building. great photo you emailed to me...only further confirms how faces are not necesary to convey emotion...
It´s a contemporary art fair of course, without any focus on textile art (in the Berlin Messehallen, big area with several halls - Nazy style, but pleasant to be in...) - I found it surprising nevertheless that there were only a handfull of works with textile, and - compared to around here in the web, yes, there is a significant male overweight (in general also, as the list of contributing artists proof) - and most of them look like copycats to me (the knitting, the blue one...)
Yes, exactly, again - especially the why leaves quite a question mark... - there were no prize tags at the fair, I saw the scream/yawn in an art magazine´s "shopping list" section...

Underwhelmed.

P.S. Guess what that screaming rubber mask thing costs? 15000 Euros...
15000 Eu....for a yawn!
Suppose its all art, but sometimes some of this art makes me wonder who chose it and why.....
