Threads of Power: Lace from the Textilemuseum St. Gallen

This well-illustrated book edited by Emma Cormack and Michele Majer accompanied an exhibition at Bard Graduate Center gallery and was named best art book of 2022 by the New York Times. It is a serious study in multiple chapters by various authors covering the rise of lace as an industry in early modern Europe, going through the centuries and the different traditions and countries, up to the modern era. If you are interested in the development of lace, you will find it fascinating. It is being sold at a substantial discount online when I last checked.

Here you see a woodcut from 1556 that offers up a pattern for lace; then a needle-lace and bobbin-lace collar which may be date from 1600 and or 1880, which is the most intriguing dating; a portrait from the chapter on how lace showed up--stiff and regal--in Spanish portraits in the 16th and 17th; lastly bobbin-lace coverlet from Brussels which has palm trees as well as the more common flora.

The exhibition can still accessed online here and it offers many images as well as some video of lace-making: https://exhibitions.bgc.bard.edu/threadsofpower/

TATTERED

“Boroboro” aka “Boro” - Japanese for tattered or worn.

This early 20c kimono - displayed inside out - is included in the exhibition “Conserving Active Matter” at the Bard Graduate Center.

People living in impoverished areas repurposed rags and scraps of fabric to stitch into garments and other household textiles to mend, and re-mend, and re-mend. Mending is an alien concept to many people living in affluent consumer oriented cultures.

There is great utilitarian and aesthetic beauty in the many layers of precious textiles painstakingly applied to this boro kimono.

BARD GRADUATE CENTER TRACKS WOMEN’S CONTRIBUTIONS

World War I summons a specific arrangement of affiliations. We are probably going to imagine war zones fixed with channels and thick billows of nerve gas. We may similarly envision the dissociative loathsomeness of shell stun, so strikingly caught by the Expressionists. Although such pictures are devoted portrayals of the contention, they recount to just piece of its story, as shown in 'French Fashion, Women, and The First World War,' the Bard Graduate Center's entrancing investigation of design and sex in France from 1914 to 1918. Moving consideration regarding the home front, the show thinks about how French ladies encountered the Great War, giving it a role as a snapshot of style upset that carried with it the expectation – if not the acknowledgment – of social revolution. Though the craft of high fashion and that of fighting appear to share little for all intents and purpose, the presentation uncovers that ladies' design was a basic wellspring of French income all through World War I. French architects – a large number of them female – kept the national economy above water, fabricating shorter, streamlined night dresses for send out, joined by promulgation that likened supporting Paris design houses to giving military guide

RICHARD TUTTLE: WHAT IS THE OBJECT

“Part exhibition, part artwork, Richard Tuttle: What Is the Object? invites visitors to view, pick up, and hold 75 items drawn from Tuttle’s own collection, ranging from ceramic teacups and decorative sculptures to vintage fabrics and antique curios. An index card created by Tuttle accompanies each object, outlining his original encounter with it, how it entered his collection, and his thoughts about it. The exhibition also features a series of nine never-before-seen works by Tuttle along with sculptural furniture he designed to display his objects.”

I have been on many a Richard Tuttle adventure having lived with his work, seen many gallery and numerous museum exhibitions, viewed his remarkable books, seen his homes and heard him speak publicly and privately in his inimitable and distinctive circular manner. He is a quiet provocateur, worthy of your time.
