Note: An artist reception takes place on Fri Jan 4 (6-8pm).
In the syntax of the art world, the 20th century represents a period when nearly every artistic medium and practice was put on trial — each called upon to justify its aesthetic merits in critical cross-examinations by the establishment. In tandem with CCA's year-long centennial celebration, Bucheon Gallery's New Year's exhibition Is It a Fiber Show? displays artists especially cognizant of fiber art's push for recognition as a bona-fide fine art rather than a bastard child of macramé. Karen Olsen-Dunn's Tapestry is a delightful mashup of psychedelic paisley and medieval hunting scenes, while Martha Sue Harris and Misako Inaoka's tableaux alternate between Boschian horror and whimsy.
