Beyond: Tapestry Expanded

About the Exhibition

Beyond: Tapestry Expanded was an ATA-sponsored exhibition that explored the expansive properties of tapestry. Using the definition of tapestry as a non-functional, hand-woven pictorial structure, artists included in the exhibition combined both hand and digital processes, using non-traditional materials, to create three-dimensional forms or multimedia components. 

Beyond: Tapestry Expanded was on view at the Peeler Art Center at DePauw University in Greencastle, IN from August 26 through December 8th, 2024. Jurors for the exhibition are Jade Yumang, Associate Professor of Fiber & Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Alexa Griffith Winton, co-curator of the upcoming Dorothy Liebes exhibition at the Cooper Hewitt. Artists selected by the jurors were exhibited alongside a curated selection of artists by Erica Warren, a former assistant curator with the Art Institute of Chicago. The exhibition features a comprehensive catalog including the work of all artists exhibiting in the exhibition. Catalogs can be purchased here.
