Now that Dianna and Cecilia have finished drawing on the Poetry Foundation walls, the first of two events for Dianna Frid and Cecilia Vicuña: A Textile Exhibition is Cecilia Vicuña: “The Origin of Weaving” Performance on Thursday, 9/17, at 6:00 PM.
In this exhibition, Dianna Frid and Cecilia Vicuña investigate the intersection of weaving, textiles, and language, with works that allude to the form of the book, the loom, and other manifestations of fiber and text.
Visit the gallery at 61 West Superior Street, 11–4, Monday–Friday and during our events.
And don’t miss Dianna Frid’s gallery talk moderated by Jen Bervin at noon on September 25!
