Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting

NiSource Inc. Gallery of Indiana Art

The practices of knitting, crocheting, and lace-making have experienced a phenomenal rise to prominence in the work of contemporary artists. Their vision uses fiber to explore line and space, marrying traditional methods, such as knitting needles and crochet hooks, with new technologies and materials that include rubber, lead, glass, industrial wire shelving and found objects. Organized and circulated by the Museum of Arts & Design in New York, “Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting” showcases works ranging from obsessive miniatures to architectural interventions, video installations, and performance and participatory pieces.
