PAST EXHIBITION

(un)common threads

May 23, 2008—July 31, 2008

(May 20, 2008, New York) - Michael Rosenfeld Gallery is pleased to present [un]common threads, a group exhibition featuring fourteen female artists: Magdalena Abakanowicz, Hannelore Baron, Lee Bontecou, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Lesley Dill, Nancy Grossman, Faith Ringgold, Yayoi Kusama, Annette Messager, Anne Ryan, Betye Saar, Mimi Smith, Lenore Tawney, and Claire Zeisler. Scheduled to be on view from May 23 to July 31, 2008, [un]common threads presents two and three-dimensional works where fiber and fabric – new and recycled – are the predominant media and have been knotted, layered, drawn, woven, sewed, or collaged. Despite disparate styles, influences, and intentions, the fourteen artists included in this exhibition share a heightened sensitivity to the history and expressive possibilities of textiles.
