Download or read book Lace, Not Lace written by Devon Thein and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A catalog of an exhibit held at the Hunterdon Art Museum, Clinton, NJ, Sept. 23, 2018- Jan. 6, 2019. The exhibit displays contemporary fiber art made using lacemaking techniques, principally bobbin lace and needle lace. Forty-one works by twenty-eight artists representing eleven nationalities explore the range of effects possible from these very fluid textile techniques. Bobbin lace and needle lace techniques developed in the late 16th century and evolved rapidly with the demands of aristocratic fashion. No longer economically viable for use in apparel and housewares these sophisticated techniques are being used by artists in a variety of fibers and filaments in unlimited colors and textures to interpret their world. Lacemaking techniques are very mathematical in nature, appealing to artists with mathematical and scientific training. Many of the works in the show explore scientific subjects and philosophical questions posed by living in a highly technological society. This exhibit combines the work of contemporary lace pioneers of the lace revival of the 1970s with exciting new work by a generation of artists who were impacted by them. An essay, Czech Contemporary Lace and Mil¿a Eremiá¿ová, by Dagmar Beckel-Machyckova, tells the fascinating story of how Communism nurtured the Czech contemporary lace movement, providing a uniquely nurturing setting for creative lacemaking to flourish during the second half of the twentieth century. Lieve Jerger's essay, The Carriage of Lost Love 1977-2018 describes Jerger's work making a life size carriage in copper wire bobbin lace, a project that is still ongoing.Other artists include Manca Ahlin, Jane Atkinson, Daniela Banatova, J Carpenter, Choi+Shine, Jill Nordfors Clark, Pierre Fouché, Laura Friesel, Alex Goldberg, Maggie Hensel-Brown, Ágnes Herczeg, Ros Hills, Veronika Irvine, Nava Lubelski, Dorie Millerson, Penny Nickels, Wako Ono, E.J.Parkes, Lenka Suchanek, Lauran Sundin, Olivia Valentine, Nicole Valsesia-Lair, Denise Watts, Louise West and Ashley Williams.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2021 PEN ACKERLEY PRIZE 'A strange and mesmerising piece of work' Sunday Times 'An absolute masterpiece' Laura Cumming 'An uncommon delight' Observer Claire Wilcox has been a curator of fashion at the Victoria and Albert Museum for most of her working life. In Patch Work, she turns her curator's eye to the fabric of life itself, tugging at the threads of memory: a cardigan worn by a child, a tin button box, the draping of a curtain, a pair of cycling shorts, a roll of lace, a pin hidden in a seam. Through these intimate and compelling close-ups, we see how the stories and the secrets of clothes measure out the passage of time, our gains and losses, and the way we use them to unravel and write our histories. 'Effervescent, poetic, puzzle-like ... Wilcox picks at the heartstrings' Financial Times

Book excerpt: A glorious companion volume to Historical Fashion in Detail- The 17th and 18th Centuries and Modern Fashion in Detail, this book captures the opulence and variety of nineteenth-century fashion through an authoritative text, exquisite colour photography and line drawings of the complete garments. From the delicate embroidery on neoclassical gowns to the vibrant colours of crinolines and the elegant tailoring of men's coats, the richness of the period is revealed in breathtaking detail. The garments showcased here, drawn from the V&A Museum's world famous collection, were at the height of fashion in their time. They display a remarkable range of colours, materials and construction details- from the intricate boning on women's corsets to the patterned silk of men's waistcoats. Seen in close-up for the first time and further illuminated by detailed commentary and line drawings that show the ingenuity of the underlying construction, these carefully chosen garments illustrate some of the major themes of nineteenth-century dress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 80 years ago, Heather Firbank packed away her extensive collection of fine clothes, bought from London's very best dressmakers and tailors. These treasures lay undiscovered for the next 30 years, until after her death, they were given to the V&A, laying the foundations for the Museum's world-famous collection. Firbank was an enthusiastic shopper and bought her clothes from the world's leading couture houses, including Lucile, Redfern and Mascotte, as well as private dressmakers and department stores. Her collection forms an invaluable record of fashionable Edwardian taste over a period of some 15 years. Beautifully illustrated with new photography of finely crafted evening gowns, tailored suits and glamorous hats, the book also features contemporary photographs and pages from Heather's own albums of fashion cuttings. It vividly maps out the London couture scene of Edwardian Britain, and charts changes in fashion through the tumultuous first decades of the twentieth century. Through the story of Heather's own life, both joyous and troubled, this book celebrates the central role of clothing in creating a single woman's identity.
