The ambitious and extensive series of exhibitions, workshops, talks and symposia that is Select 2014 is up and running until May 31st. Exhibitions can be found in Stroud , Cirencester, Nailsworth, Cheltenham, Newark Park. I installed “Insulae’ – which about the legacy of a space , the sense of containment in the simple image of a house, and the knowledge of past inhabitants – at the Corinium Museum yesterday in Cirencester which is now open until May 30th – along with the beautiful textile work of Amy Wallace. My inspiration was certainly the floor mosaics found in Cirencester and displayed in the Museum on the walls – and too the visit last year to Ephesus with its fantastic sense of how a Roman city was in its time.
The Exhibition ‘Shadow and Line ‘ opens tomorrow at The Museum in the Park in Stroud – nine artists explore the theme including two of my favourites – Elizabeth Turrell and Caroline Bartlett.
‘Shadow and Line’ is one of many exhibitions taking place during Stroud International Textiles’ Select festival, which showcases nine nationally acclaimed artists exhibiting work on the theme of ‘Shadow and Line’ at Museum in the Park, Stratford road.
Stroud International Textiles is a not a profit arts organisation dedicated to the promotion of the arts with an emphasis on contemporary textiles and the applied arts/crafts. Select is an innovative annual festival programme of exhibitions and learning experiences that takes place every Spring.
