Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the study of textiles and culture has become a dynamic field of scholarship, reflecting new global, material and technological possibilities. This is the first handbook of specially commissioned essays to provide a guide to the major strands of critical work around textiles past and present and to draw upon the work of artists and designers as well as researchers in textiles studies. The handbook offers an authoritative and wide-ranging guide to the topics, issues, and questions that are central to the study of textiles today: it examines how material practices reflect cross-cultural influences; it explores textiles' relationships to history, memory, place, and social and technological change; and considers their influence on fashion and design, sustainable production, craft, architecture, curation and contemporary textile art practice. This illustrated volume will be essential reading for students and scholars involved in research on textiles and related subjects such as dress, costume and fashion, feminism and gender, art and design, and cultural history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-envisioning the Contemporary Art Canon: Perspectives in a Global World seeks to dissect and interrogate the nature of the present-day art field, which has experienced dramatic shifts in the past 50 years. In discussions of the canon of art history, the notion of ‘inclusiveness’, both at the level of rhetoric and as a desired practice is on the rise and gradually replacing talk of ‘exclusion’, which dominated critiques of the canon up until two decades ago. The art field has dramatically, if insufficiently, changed in the half-century since the first protests and critiques of the exclusion of ‘others’ from the art canon. With increased globalization and shifting geopolitics, the art field is expanding beyond its Euro-American focus, as is particularly evident in the large-scale international biennales now held all over the globe. Are canons and counter-canons still relevant? Can they be re-envisioned rather than merely revised? Following an introduction that discusses these issues, thirteen newly commissioned essays present case studies of consecration in the contemporary art field, and three commissioned discussions present diverse positions on issues of the canon and consecration processes today. This volume will be of interest to instructors and students of contemporary art, art history, and museum and curatorial studies.

Download or read book Gerhardt Knodel written by Marsha Miro and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The physical origin of Gerhardt Knodel's work is in the grid: the basic structure of loom woven textiles and a universally used pattern of organization. While the grid locates his art within the textile medium and its historical evolution, it also links it to the phenomenon of centering. The intersection of horizontal and vertical, warp and weft, of longitude and latitude creates an internal order that has physical, cultural, social, and architectural meaning used by Knodel in the work. Each intersection anticipates the next one and the next, "reflecting," writes Knodel, "the entire history of weaving as a recreation of the essence of textiles, an echo of that first moment of discovery in the construction of a textile. Each new intersection returns to that original moment and is a promise of that which is to come. To weave is to renew."--Page 18.
