The exhibition celebrates numerous textile-based works from the Jorge Pérez collection – many of which have never been publicly exhibited – and engages these acquisitions as focal points to structure creative dialogues with artworks presented in other mediums. Featuring works from over 100 intergenerational artists worldwide, “To Weave the Sky” is inspired by weaving’s traditional ties to abstraction and geometry, landscape and the organic, tactility and intimacy, and indigenous cosmologies and ritual. Curated by Tobias Ostrander in close dialogue with Patricia M. Hanna and Anelys Alvarez, the show attempts to uncover contemporary fascination with the medium – one that has been historically marginalized to the genre of craft within Western art contexts.
