Group exhibition: By a thread
Tuesdays to Saturdays, 10am to 5pm Wednesday 23 September 2020 to Saturday 17 October 2020
Last Saturday, exhibition closes 3pm
MAY SPACE is proud to present a curated group exhibition by Amy Hill and Eleanor Megna, By a thread
"Fibre and textile practices have long been associated with juxtaposing positions. Associations with gender and domesticity, arguments of its legitimacy as an art form, and its utilisation in aiding revolutionary change has embedded fibre art with an inherent politicisation. The power of fibre as an art making material lies in this complex history and intrinsic non-neutrality.
The artists contributing to this exhibition approach fibre practices from varied backgrounds; as painters, sculptors, drawers, or a combination of the canonical mediums. Drawing on their experiences, culture, and knowledge, these artists utilise and explore fibre to create compelling artworks."
Contributing artists: Anna Dunnill, Graziela Guardino, Aerial Morallos, Al Munro, Mylyn Nguyen, Chloe Smith (I Make Soft Food), Nina Walton, and Lisa Woolfe.
Nina Walton will be creating a site-specific fibre installation at MAY SPACE in the first two days of exhibition, from Wednesday 23 - 24 September.
Join us on Saturday 26 September from 12pm - 3pm for an extended opening, and to meet with some of the artists. Drinks will be provided.
MAY SPACE has an active COVID Safety Plan. All visitors are required to provide their name and contact number upon entry, surfaces are disinfected regularly, and we have a maximum capacity within the Gallery of 45 people.
