Hello, dear readers and subscribers! Is Textile Art the most trending art form today? And which textile artists did we miss in the video and article? Chat soon! Cheers, Julien & Perrier
I’m going to send this link to me ex art teacher who told me I was not a artist because I love textile design. Long career and now confirmation. Thanks!! You are definitely going to need a part 2: you left out Kaffe Fassett
Great video, Julien. Another great 20th century textile artist who deserves a mention is Mrinalini Mukherjee (1949-2015) whose work references India's textile and craft traditions.
Hi Julién. Thank you for the spectacular presentation and for the work by CAI. These are more than women makin’ doilies… My mind wonders on the management of such scale of malleable materials and conservation. Although I found Fred Sanback’s works quite interesting. As a graduate of fashion design education… I still incorporate and have sketches of works based on stitching and fabrics. After all… canvas… cotton or linen … is a textile. These elements then are combined with painting. It does take skill to know how these materials behave as well as making and dying a yarn. A topic with possibility of lengthy discussion…yes? I look forward to reading the article. Have a super day … much joy to the family.Sincerely, Janet
Hi Janet, the pleasure is all mine, as always. I hope you are doing well. Absolutely. I think this topic deserves a dissertation or Ph.D to get to the very bottom of an indeed lengthy discussion. Wishing you a super day too and best regards from all of us!
I'm always excited and grateful for all the content you produce.. Thank you for devoting some time to this art form mostly done by amazing female artists. Most of them exhibit in small galleries or are around on Instagram doing amazing stuff that's often ignored by the establishment because their pieces are small. The same can be said of some African well known textile artists who exhibit big but still are overlooked or ignored by western centric art galleries.
There is an urgent need for these sorts of artists. They better act quickly and decisively and in mass usage of their base material - textiles, as in fashion - before it is dumped in great quantities in the Atacama desert or gracing the beaches of Africa...
This is predominantly not art. Stacking pillows in a color scheme is not art. It's stacking pillows, and that's all it is. Stringing red thread all over the place in a room is not art. Like, 90% of "installations", It's a mere set, which Hollywood deploys in equal to better artistic measure and sense with regularity. Wrapping a found object in thread is not art. Again, it takes no talent and no artistic ability. It takes an ability to choose complementary threads and that's all. It's called a color wheel. Hanging a bunch of clothes from the ceiling is not art. It's cloth hanging from the ceiling, and that's all it is. A partially unrolled bundle of cloth is not art. It's a partially enrolled bundle of cloth. No more. No less. Why? As always, I'm sure they all come with a big word spray from the artist that we cannot see in the work itself, nor is it evident by just viewing the art without the BS word spray. Basically, this is Con art. It takes no talent and no artistic ability to create. It's no different than the talentless garbage produced by talent-free Jeff Koons, con man Damien Hirst and common narcissist, Marina Abramovic. These "works" are produced to be stuffed in someone's storage unit and hopefully accumulate value so they can launder money with it someday. No one buys it to display in their home. It is the product of the incestuous relationship between art schools, the artists they produce, galleries, museums, auction houses, the egregiously wealthy and financial institutions. Were it not for this ongoing relationship equivalent in both efficiency and complexity to the military-industrial complex, we wouldn't have talentless, meaningless garbage like this passed off as art that matters, instead of being acknowledged and dismissed as the talentless and artistc ability-free nonsense it is. Of all of these people, only Otobong Nikanda has true talent and artistic ability. Otherwise, fabric art starts and ends with Fashion and Cristo. The rest is a grift.
Thank you for tuning in and sharing your honest and critical thoughts-they are always most welcome! However, simultaneously, I also respectfully disagree. Wishing you a great day!
I make portraits with embroidery thread, that takes skill. Some parts of textile art is for sure art. But I agree that hanging flards of textile is not art. Although it fits the modern "art" idea.

Previously women s work was not taken seriously in the world of fine art. This is a glorious quiet and utilitarian form. Love it.
Also Faith Ringgold, Sonya Clark, Bisa Butler
Great recital!

I think Ernesto Neto belongs somewhere in the list.
Agreed! Thank you for tuning in
Andrea Zittel, Nick Cave, Ruth Asawa

Some very interesting work. I absolutely adore Annie Albers!
Julien, what about Magdalena Abakanowicz? There is also Małgorzata Mirga-Tas, another amazing Polish textile artist.

I recently saw Shiotta's work in Aix-en-Provence. It was cool. You got to see it in real life, not on a picture.
Keith Zenda from Zimbabwe mixes painting with fabric ❤
Exciting!
Quilts too
Could you do one on the textile sculptures by Elizabeth Higgens-O’Conner
Thank you for the suggestion!
Гобелены Джейсона Перри🤔.
А если будете рассказывать про гончарное искусство ( современное) , тоже про него не забудте
Where is Magdalena Abakanowicz?
Wow!!!!!
🙌🏽👌🏽✨
🙌🙏🫡
Why are always so serious
Smile
I'll do my best 😁
Interesting, but not my thing. Nothing beats an oil painting.
I respect your opinion. Painting remains the grand amour of so many of us. Thank you for tuning in!
Smell art
😅
