SUMMARY:Lecture & Reception: Christy Matson
DESCRIPTION:Christy Matson is a Los Angeles-based artist known for her pain
 terly approach to textiles. Matson employs a hand-operated\, computer-prog
 rammable Jacquard loom to create intricate weavings to which she often app
 lies paint and other fiber techniques. The artist mines her deep interests
  in approaches such as collage and abstraction\, which can be found in bot
 h historical as well as modernist textile traditions. Matson’s work refl
 ects on the gendered histories of weaving in conjunction with art historic
 al approaches such as geometric abstraction and collage.\n\nHer current ex
 hibition at Cranbrook Art Museum\, Crossings\, features 16 weavings config
 ured into 2 monumentally scaled tapestries that were originally conceived 
 for a special commission for the US Embassy in Ashgabat\, Turkmenistan.\n\
 nLecture is free and open to the public. Cash bar and reception to follow 
 the talk.\n\n[caption id="attachment_21964" align="alignleft" width="300"]
