For the January lecture, Dr. Sandra Sider invited all Fiberarts Guild of Pittsburgh members to submit an image of their work to explain the curatorial process often used in forming a fiber art exhibition. How is your work viewed in the selection process, and what are the important key factors? This is NOT a critique, but rather an educational, fun exercise, to watch a highly experienced curator, make decisions, step by step. Join in the fun, and see the results in January!
“Fiber Art in a Curatorial Framework” presented by Sandra Sider, will begin with a 20-minute slide lecture in which Dr. Sider discusses how works selected can be viewed for exhibition purposes, ending with an “exhibition” displaying the pieces. She will then summarize the main points concerning the creative process in her new book, Exploring Your Artistic Voice in Contemporary Quilt Art, encouraging questions about any of the topics discussed.
