Professor Kim Beck exhibits in “The Golden Thread,” a large survey of contemporary artists working with fibers and textiles that includes 61 artists and over a 100 artworks, including 10 site-specific installations. The show, organized by BravinLee Programs, in on view April 26 through May 12 at 207 Front Street in New York City.
This exhibition shines a light on a group of exemplary artists who have made of the radical use of textiles their frequent or dedicated métier. Hailing from different parts of the US and beyond, their wildly varied artworks occupy four floors of a landmark 18th century warehouse previously used to store, among other period wares, bails of cotton and bolts of fabric arriving and departing New York’s South Street Seaport.
