Textile Talks: Beyond the Surface - Contemporary Artists and Printed Textiles​​, presented by Surface Design Association

Presented by the Surface Design Association"Three artists from the Beyond the Surface: Contemporary Artists and Printed Textiles exhibition will discuss their work.​​ Using various techniques and materials, these artists transform fabric-based prints into meditations on personal, political, and social conditions. Their work expands notions of what a printed textile is and can be within a fine art context, revealing the possibilities for conceptual expression and meaning that uniquely exist in the overlap between media.​" Register today and watch when this episode airs this Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at 2 PM EDT.

 

More from the Surface Design Association (SDA):

 

"In Beyond the Surface, each artist delves into the nuances of their conceptual and material concerns, richly contributing to an exhibition-wide dialogue about printed textiles as an expansive mode of contemporary artistic practice.

 

Emily Dormier’s screen-printing builds layers of images and visual depth through color-separation processes that recall the formation and retention of memory through periods of heightened emotions or trauma.

 

Inspired by floral wallpaper, Sarah Fairchild’s ornamented prints glow with fluorescent colors and shine from bedazzled crystals and metallic foils to blur the boundaries between what is considered “natural” versus “artificial.”

 

Krystle Lemonias’ assemblage and wood-block printed textiles explore the integral role that women’s domestic employment contributes towards society, and how these professions are sites of negotiation between class, gender, race, and economic inequity.

 

The exhibit was curated by Caroline Kipp and is on view at the Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, NY from Aug. 31 - Oct. 20, 2024."

 

This Textile Talk takes place, Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Future installments are held online at 2 p.m. Eastern (11 a.m. Pacific) each Wednesday.

 

The video will be recorded and will be able to view later.

This upcoming lecture presented by the Surface Design Association promises a fascinating dive into textile art, blending personal, political, and social themes through cutting-edge printing techniques. As these artists redefine the possibilities of printed textiles, it draws parallels to the creative flexibility offered by removable wallpaper, particularly in custom mural designs.

Wall decoration is a powerful art form, and removable wallpaper provides an easy and stylish way to bring that art into everyday spaces. Much like the personalized approach of printed textiles, custom murals allow you to express individuality by incorporating your favorite designs or creating something entirely unique. Whether it’s detailed floral patterns or bold, abstract visuals, removable custom wall murals add character and dimension to any room, transforming it with the same impact as the artistic pieces featured in the exhibition.
