SUMMARY:EXHIBITIONISTA: "50 Years of Fiber"
DESCRIPTION:I am thrilled to participate in FIBER:\nThis international exhibition seeks to showcase the best of contemporary fiber art that reflect the breadth of functional or non-functional works that use fiber and/or fiber art techniques in traditional or innovative ways. Artwork in this exhibition may be made from natural or high tech materials that reference fiber and that blur the lines between art\, architecture and craft. \n Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 17\, 5-7pm\n \nCurators:\nTom Grotta and Rhonda Brown\n\n\nTom and Rhonda have showcased modern fiber art since the 1980s\, championing fiber art’s evolution and future. Representing over 100 artists from 25 countries\, the gallery’s exhibitions\, art fairs\, and partnerships with museums have placed works in prestigious collections like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery. Tom\, a Rochester Institute of Technology graduate\, is renowned for his photography of fiber art and knowledge of contemporary textiles. Rhonda’s background as a lawyer and writer informs her editorial leadership at browngrotta arts. Rhonda oversees the gallery’s catalogs\, blog\, and social media\, ensuring its continued influence in fiber art. \n\nSEE THE SHOW HERE!\nSee My Work HERE! \n\nI am honored to be showing with: (several of whom I know and have shown with before)\n \nBecca Barolli – Bethlehem\, CT     /     Eszter Bornemisza – Budapest\, Hungary     /     Carolyn Carson – Pittsburgh\, PA \nMonica Carvalho – Rio de Janeiro \, Brazil     /     Wan Lin Chang – Taichung City\, Taiwan \nCheyenne Concepcion – San Francisco\, CA     /     Jennifer Davies – Branford  \, CT     /     Sherry Davis – Riverhead\, NY \nEllen Dickinson – Roslyn Heights\, NY     /     Debra Disman – Los Angeles\, CA      /     Rosana Escobar – Bogota\, CO \nSarah Haskell – York\, ME     /     Elizabeth Joo – Chicago\, IL     /     Anna Kocherovsky – West Bloomfield\, MI \nAlexandra Kohl – Mamaroneck\, NY     /     Haeley Kyong – Franklin Lakes\, NJ      /     Mati Laforge – Montréal\, Canada \nFannie  Lee – Brooklyn\, NY     /     Laura Foster Nicholson – New Harmony\, IN      /     Amy Putansu – Waynesville \, NC \nJoh Ricci – Gettysburg\, PA     /     Michael Rohde – Thousand Oaks\, CA     /     Theda Sandiford – Union City\, NJ \nTushita Singh Singh – Uttar Pradesh\, India     /     Adrienne Sloane – Watertown\, MA     /     Justyna Solomianko – Bialystok\, Poland \nGerri Spilka – Philadelphia\, PA     /     Susan Tonkin Riegel – Granite Bay \,CA     /     Stefania Urist – Londonderry\, VT \nMila Vovk – Irvine\, CA     /     Alice Wiese – Mill Valley\, CA \n\n\n\n  \n
