Textile Museum, Washington, DC USA For two weeks only, textiles from the collection of Ann Dunham, President Obama's mother, are on view at The Textile Museum. This marks the final stop on a national tour of the exhibition A Lady Found a Culture in its Cloth: Barack Obama's Mother and Indonesian Batiks. Early in her life, Ann Dunham explored her interest in the textile arts as a weaver, creating wall hangings in earthy shades of brown and green for her own enjoyment. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
| | | 7th Open Print Exhibition
Royal West of England Academy, Bristol, UK United Kingdom Recent artworks from Russia, Poland, China and Japan will be some of the international works in the new print exhibition, opening at the RWA, in its fine building on Queens Road. This will be the 7th Open print exhibition in a series, which began in 1989. The previous one in 2004, also curated by Peter Ford RWA, received the accolade of �exhibition of the year� from Bristol�s Venue magazine. The 2004 exhibition featured spectral figures apparently floating in space at the end of the main gallery. The creator of that work, Marilene Oliver, is exhibiting again with another mysterious work, called Dervishes. This typifies the expansion of printmaking away from two-dimensions, one of the themes of this exhibition together with a blurring of boundaries between traditional processes and new media. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
