If you’re near Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, between November 19 and December 18, don’t miss the upcoming exhibition at Milwaukee Union Art Gallery, Thread Baring: A Portrayal of Masculinity One Stitch at a Time. The gallery’s site announces,
This group exhibition looks at masculinity as represented by male artists working in forms and mediums often considered to be the domain of women. Using materials like thread, yarn and felt in practices like weaving, knitting and embroidery , these visually compelling two and three-dimensional works aim to challenge preconceptions about the subject and forms of men’s art. With a literal construction of masculinity, these fiber artists present contrasts meant to perplex and intrigue.
Artists include : Youn Woo Chaa, Robert Conger, Angelo Filomeno, Craig Fisher, Kent Henrickson, Mark Newport, Chris Niver, Adam Parker Smith, Paul Villinski, Michael Brennand- Wood, and Rob Wynn .
A thousand thanks to Jenny Hart of Embroidery as Art and Sublime Stitching for tipping us off to this fantastic art event.
