Pliable Planes: Expanded Textiles & Fibre Practices
註釋Catalogue to accompany the exhibition Pliable Planes: Expanded textiles & fibre practices presented at UNSW Galleries from 29 April - 17 July 2022. 'Pliable Planes: Expanded Textiles & Fibre Practices' draws together practitioners who reimagine practices in textiles and fibre art. The project takes its title from a 1957 essay by Bauhaus artist Anni Albers that sought to rethink the use of weaving through an architectural lens and interpret textiles as fundamentally structural and endlessly mutable. Using this concept as a point of departure, the exhibition presents the work of contemporary practitioners experimenting with the boundaries of materiality, spatial fluidity, and process.Exhibiting artists reflect on the use of textiles to chart social and cultural change, responding to historical modes of production and representation, and underlying histories of domesticity and women's labour. Works seamlessly incorporate traditional textile approaches including weaving, embroidery, knitting, and sewing while exploring broader conceptual and aesthetic possibilities. Through expanded painting, assemblage, performative gesture, sound, video and installation, 'Pliable Planes' presents contemporary Australian textiles and fibre art in expansive and plural forms, altering perceptions of materials, form and function.Exhibiting artists: Akira AkiraSarah ContosLucia DohrmannMikala DwyerJanet FieldhouseTeelah GeorgePaul KnightAnne-Marie MayJohn NixonKate ScardifieldJacqueline Stojanovi?Katie WestCurators: Karen Hall & Catherine Woolley
