Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas

Subverting Materials: Fiber and Textile Art by Women Artists
@ Museum of Contemporary Art of the Americas

Opening: Friday, November 11, 2022, 6-11 pm

Subversion of Materials: Textile and Fiber Art by Women Artists
Since ancient times, the number nine has been associated with the nine months of pregnancy and thus represents the feminine principle of creation. On the other hand, according to Hindu philosophy, the creators of the classical arts found nine emotions or artistic moods that are part of the expressions of life. With these principles in mind, nine women artists were chosen for this exhibition: Aimée García, Aimée Pérez, Allison Kotzig, Evelyn Politzer, Ivonne Ferrer, Karla Kantorovich, Liberty Worth, Milena-Martínez Pedrosa, and Valerie Lustgarten. Each of them uses techniques considered domestic or crafts—such as sewing, weaving, embroidery, or quilting—transforming or subverting them into works of contemporary art that express different messages and emotions. The exhibition conceived as part of the project Threading the City, organized by the Fiber Artists Miami Association (FAMA), highlights the work of these nine artists who use fibers or textiles but also recognizes them individually for their originality,manual dexterity, and conceptual strength.
