ITAB: International TECHstyle Art Biennial
San Jose Musem of Quilts & Textiles
August 17 – October 31, 2010
Opening reception: Sunday, August 22, 2-4pm
ITAB is a juried exhibition of work by artists mining the expressive potential of combining fiber media with new information and communication technologies in their artistic processes, in the content of their work and as a mean of artistic expression. Leveraging its location in Silicon Valley, ITAB serves as the premiere platform for introducing the emerging work of artists exploring the intersection of fiber art and technology to the global community that assembles—virtually and in the real-world — on the occasion of the San Jose’s biennial ZER01 exhibition, the 2010 01 SJ Biennial, which runs from September 16-19, 2010.

In The Loop: Knitting Now
edited by Dr. Jessica Hemmings
Blackdog Publishers, 2010
Get it on Amazon!
Knitting has progressed from its fuzzy image of thick socks, long shawls and embarrassing reindeer motifs on Christmas sweaters. Now there are knitting groups that meet in bars, hundreds of clubs and contemporary artists that have reclaimed the craft. In the Loop looks at this progression from solitary hobby for old maids to mainstream craft. The essays in this book cover the topics of knitting in art, international knitting traditions, knitting as social activism, the oral history of knitting, and knitting technology. The illustrations provide a fresh look at this subject and ensure this is an essential book for anyone with an interest in contemporary knitting.
