Fils Croisés

 

 

This week is the opening of Fils Croisés at Galeri LJ in Paris, the second group exhibition of contemporary textiles that I'm participating in (last weekend was the opening of Sur le Fil in Lille). Curated by Adeline Jeudy, this show includes works by Sandrine Pelletier, Jenny Hart, Céline Cléron, Birgit Dieker, Anne Geoffroy, Olivier Kosta-Théfaine, Valérie Newland et Yaze.

Fils Croisés
Galerie LJ, 12 rue Commines, Paris
opening: Thursday October 15 at 7pm
(show continues until the beginning of Nov.)

My mom is coming over for the opening! I'll have six works on display: three embroidered pieces and three drawings (like the portrait above). Last spring I began a series of portraits of high school classmates. Instead of doing any actual embroidery, I began drawing the stitches around the portraits for embellishment. A solo show of these portraits is slated for June 2010 at Domy Books in Austin.

Wish you could be here! But, you probably can more easily make it to Over and Under in Austin, which is happening next month!

I'll Be There!

Hi Jenny! I live in Paris and plan on attending the show-- Can't wait! Also, I went today to the Madeleine Vionnet exhibit at the Arts Decoratifs in the Louvre. It is amazing... the range of clothing on display, as well as the way the show is laid out make for a fantastic experience. You might particularly like all the embroidery she incorporated into her work, not to mention the fact that every stitch in her collections was done by hand! The detail is stunning-- I spent almost three hours in the exhibit and felt like I could have spent twice as long. Here's the link to the exhibit: http://www.lesartsdecoratifs.fr/francais/accueil-292/une-486/francais/mo...

Well, good luck with the opening! And, maybe I'll see you there... Kate H.

Thanks for coming!

Kate- it was so nice to meet you at the opening! Thanks for coming to see me!
