https://mofa.fsu.edu/programs/future-exhibitions/The history of textile and fiber arts is defined by transmission – the exchange of knowledge, custom and practice from person to person, culture to culture and generation to generation. Today, technology has fundamentally shaped the nature of these exchanges, impacting the creation, presentation and interpretation of artistic traditions in unprecedented ways. Florida State University’s Museum of Fine Arts (MoFA), Intertwined: Labor and Technology in Contemporary Textile Art calls attention to the dynamism of textile-related practice through the work of contemporary artists. Working across various interdisciplinary lenses and media, these innovative artists explore themes of labor and agency that simultaneously highlight and subvert our expectations. By blurring the perceived boundaries of tradition in both tangible and intangible ways, this exhibition challenges viewers to consider new, inclusive possibilities for artmaking at a critical time.
