Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse

Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse is a collaboration with The Contemporary Art Modern Project (The CAMP Gallery) and the Fiber Artists Miami Association (FAMA). The exhibition explores how female artists, utilizing textiles as their medium, subvert the social expectation of crafting by lambasting this soft medium with political and social awareness.

Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse will be on view at MoCA Westport from June 30 – October 2, 2022.

SUBVERTING MATERIALS

Nov. 11-Jan. 6, 2023-Exhibit


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.

Presentation by Paula Kovarik followed by a wine and cheese reception.

About Paula:

"Mom taught me pretty much everything she knew—knitting, crocheting, embroidery, cooking, camping, fishing, compassion, and responsibility. Then I went to school and learned some more. That's the thing, I can't help myself, I love to learn. It all interests me, rocket science, plant biology, history, art, you name it, I'm interested. So I became a designer, the career that forces you to keep learning. I ran a business called Shades of Gray for over 25 years specializing in corporate and employee communications. And I loved it ... most every minute of it. Now I am making art."

Paula Kovarik received her Bachelor of Arts in graphic design from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. As the creative director and owner of Shades of Gray, Inc., a graphic design studio, she specialized in communications. Paula’s textile art has been recognized by several national venues. She has been profiled in American Craft, Fiber ArtNow, and Art Quilting Studio magazines. Paula lives and works in Memphis, TN.
