"Thread"

Guest-curated by Alana Coates, the group show “Thread” is “centered on artists using needle and thread in contemporary techniques, narratives and conceptual practices.” By highlighting this medium, the exhibit strikes a balance between traditional artistic practices and contemporary art, as well as between the realms of art and craft, which are often seen as distinct from one another. “Thread” features work from Bianca Alvarez, Linda Arredondo, Sara Barnes, Sarah Castillo, Martha Elena Flores, Sarah Fox, Abby Hinojosa, Sol Kesseler, Justin Korver, Michael Martinez, Nicole Tovar and Jose Villalobos. Following the opening reception, "Thread" remains on view by appointment through March 31, when it culminates with a closing reception and embroidery workshop.
