Art Exhibition: EXTREME FIBER: Textile Icons and the New Edge @ Muskegon Museum of Art | Muskegon | Michigan | United States

Extreme Fiber: Textile Icons and the New Edge examines the state of fibers and textiles in the fine art world today. The artworks on display will reveal the diversity of this fine craft movement, and its transformation into a multi-media and discipline-spanning phenomenon. Participating artists are well-known visionaries in the field.

Joining the works of these masters will be a group of artworks selected from juried submissions received from artists around the world. Works from new and established artists will thus be seen alongside the contemporary art of the artists that helped to define the movement. The exhibition will include tapestries, quilts, weavings, sculpture, basketry, and a host of other forms, from the functional to the fully-abstracted.

This exhibition has been organized by the Muskegon Museum of Art with guest curator Geary Jones. Underwritten by Bayer CropScience.
