FABRIC

26 Jun-1 Oct 2014

Collyer Bristow Gallery
London WC1R 4TF

Overview

Artists have wrapped, knitted and woven for centuries but the use of ‘fabric’ as a medium is going through an interesting resurgence at the moment. Global demand for cheap clothing and huge technological advancement have both imbued the very material with meaning beyond the domestic, and enabled fabrics to be printed and manipulated in hitherto unimaginable ways. This eponymous exhibition looks at some current practices, teasing out threads and themes through the work of 8 artists. With Malina Busch, Dexter Dymoke, Henry Hussey, Bruce Ingram, Sara Impey, Lauren Kelly, Nigel Massey, Liz Rideal.
