Abstract

Phénomène économique et culturel de première importance à Bamako, la teinture à dessins réservés puise ses origines dans une longue tradition. Ces cinquante dernières années, elle s'est redéployée à la faveur de l'importation de tissus industriels et de colorants synthétiques supplantant le coton local tissé en bandes et l'indigo naturel. Mais loin de s'appauvrir, cet artisanat fait preuve d'une grande vitalité, combinant les techniques de réserve ancestrales aux procédés modernes de teinture. La diversité et la complexité des nombreuses étapes nécessaires pour transformer le basin blanc en boubou bien battu sont généralement peu connues. Cet ouvrage met en lumière la grande variété des techniques de réserve, créant au terme de longs et minutieux processus, des décors éclatants, reflets d'une créativité collective incessante. Sous ces étoffes luxueuses, on découvre un monde de femmes et d'hommes travaillant sans relâche dans des conditions sociales difficiles. Pour pénétrer plus intimement cet univers de la teinture, Patricia Gérimont s'est immergée au sein d'une petite teinturerie dont elle dresse le portrait au travers de celui de ses acteurs : attacheurs, teinturières, batteurs... Car ce livre est aussi une histoire d'amitiés et de découvertes mutuelles.

Abstract

Anni Albers (1899-1994) was a textile designer, weaver, writer and printmaker, who was among the leading pioneers of twentieth-century modernism. Throughout her fruitful career she inspired a reconsideration of fabrics, both in their functional roles and as wall hangings, truly establishing thread and weaving as a valid medium for art. In her later years, Albers took up print-making, translating many of her persistent themes and ideas into two-dimensional form. But while Albers has been extremely influential for younger generations of artists and designers, her contribution to modernist art history has, until now, been rather overlooked. In 2018, a groundbreaking exhibition, together with this accompanying publication will present Albers's most important works to fully explore and redefine her contribution to twentieth-century art and design, and highlight Albers's significance as an artist in her own right, rather than alongside her husband Josef . Contextualising Albers's early career at the Bauhaus, and her teaching years at Black Mountain College, this beautifully illustrated book will showcase major commissioned works, wall hangings, designs for commercial use, drawings and studies, jewellery designed and made by Albers and a selection of her prints.

Abstract

In 1974, women in a feminist consciousness-raising group in Eugene, Oregon, formed a mock organization called the Ladies Sewing Circle and Terrorist Society. Emblazoning its logo onto t-shirts, the group wryly envisioned female collective textile making as a practice that could upend conventions, threaten state structures, and wreak political havoc. Elaborating on this example as a prehistory to the more recent phenomenon of “craftivism”—the politics and social practices associated with handmaking—Fray explores textiles and their role at the forefront of debates about process, materiality, gender, and race in times of economic upheaval. Closely examining how amateurs and fine artists in the United States and Chile turned to sewing, braiding, knotting, and quilting amid the rise of global manufacturing, Julia Bryan-Wilson argues that textiles unravel the high/low divide and urges us to think flexibly about what the politics of textiles might be. Her case studies from the 1970s through the 1990s—including the improvised costumes of the theater troupe the Cockettes, the braided rag rugs of US artist Harmony Hammond, the thread-based sculptures of Chilean artist Cecilia Vicuña, the small hand-sewn tapestries depicting Pinochet’s torture, and the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt—are often taken as evidence of the inherently progressive nature of handcrafted textiles. Fray, however, shows that such methods are recruited to often ambivalent ends, leaving textiles very much “in the fray” of debates about feminized labor, protest cultures, and queer identities; the malleability of cloth and fiber means that textiles can be activated, or stretched, in many ideological directions. The first contemporary art history book to discuss both fine art and amateur registers of handmaking at such an expansive scale, Fray unveils crucial insights into how textiles inhabit the broad space between artistic and political poles—high and low, untrained and highly skilled, conformist and disobedient, craft and art.
