Eduardo Terrazas in Abstracción textil

Casas Riegner, Bogota, Colombia
19 April – 27 June 2018

Textile Abstraction puts special emphasis on the work of artists from Latin America, in part because of the location of the exhibition in Colombia, but more broadly due to the high concentration of artists working with textiles in this part of the world. The featured work ranges from innovative quilts to innovative combinations of fiber to metal tapestries that are both two-dimensional textiles and three-dimensional sculptures. Many bring together various hybrid forms and shapes; repurposed or deconstructed fabrics; or cloth that has been painted, dyed, or printed. They vividly reveal how textiles today, despite their great diversity, articulate a common syntax that constantly navigates between the natural and the artificial.
