✨Join us for Baukunst First Friday, where we will be celebrating the closing reception of "High Fiber", an exhibition that explores textiles as surfaces of labor, memory, and transformation. ...also, California-based tequila and mezcal producer Nosotros will be providing a comprehensive tasting of their award-winning spirits! More on High Fiber: Textiles are all around us. We encounter them daily—worn, touched, used, and relied upon—often without noticing. They can be large or intimate in scale, typically soft yet sometimes rigid or resistant, prompting questions about how textiles operate when considered as art. Through processes of pleating, quilting, folding, sculpting, dyeing, and over-dyeing, textiles become sites of experimentation and transformation. Long associated with utility and craft, textile materials in this exhibition are considered as art: as surfaces that record time and labor, as structures that hold memory, and as forms that blur distinctions between function and sculpture. Stretchy or stiff, porous or dense, these works invite close looking and bodily awareness, asking our mediums to be read not only as material, but as language. Featuring work by:
