Come and explore 'Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art at the Barbican' in London

Textiles are often overlooked might go and see this show.

It is worth it, I think. I have certainly been guilty of overlooking them myself. Let me know what you think if you do go.

Looks like an amazing exhibition. I am an embroidery artist so this was my jam. I hope they have an exhibition catalog I can purchase . Thanks for sharing.

Really glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching. I am appreciative of your skills as an embroidery artist more and more. There was a catalogue. It was quite expensive and I only had a brief flick through - it can be found here shop.barbican.org.uk/products/unravel-the-power-and-politics-of-textiles-in-art-exhibition-catalogue

Shame you missed the Pettway quilts, but at least caught the show before the other artists - whose decision I agree with - withdrew their works. Unravel indeed. I found Angela Su's pieces to be the most memorable.

[@artgalleryexplorer]

Wait, what? Which other works have now been withdrawn? I have been a bit out of the loop with work and missed that. I was fascinated by Angela Su's works, amongst other pieces. thank you for watching. I am going to put up the review of The Time is Always Now that you recommended at the weekend. A great show. Really enjoyed that one.

@@artgalleryexplorer Dayrit,Brackens,Barrada and Mounira al Solh,who has replaced her work with a letter explaining why. All good works. There was a related demo on Saturday. It is sad for the show, but hopefully it will force change.

@@mattgriffiths7755 Thanks Matt - I hadn't realised at all and am sorry those works are now missing. There must now feel like a lot of holes in the show. I totally respect the rights of the lenders/artists to make that decision though - the fall out from the failure to hold the LRB winter series continues.

Wish I was in London to see this great show, some great work here, I particularly love Tschabalala Self's work...I'm an artist in Australia working with textiles, originally from mixed media painting background, also coming to know how amazing the textile art world/community is.....thanks for this video and your art channel!

[@artgalleryexplorer]

Ah, fantastic. Thank you for watching. Is there anywhere we can see your work online? Self's work was compelling.
