The transformative power of contemporary textiles is the subject of this exhibition catalog that examines how and why textile has been a fertile medium for artists to question regimes of power and hierarchies of value.

 

Bringing together more than 100 works by a diverse range of international practitioners, this eye-opening volume explores how textile art can be as discomforting as it is beautiful, and how age-old materials and processes are being reimagined with boundary-smashing innovations. From intimate hand-crafted works to large-scale sculptural installations, this book celebrates the legacies of artists such as Pacita Abad, the arpilleristas, and José Leonilson. Also featured here are works by living artists such as Igshaan Adams, Tracey Emin, and Cecilia Vicuña.
With new scholarship and beautifully produced imagery, this collection of renowned artists from around the world reveals the extraordinary potential of textiles to confront fixed notions of history, race, gender, sexual expression, and class--and how, ultimately, it can be a powerful force for both resistance and repair.

 

320 pages, Hardcover, March 2024.
