Talks scheduled
in public venues through October 2018:
There is
evidence of weaving back in the Stone Age. Since then we have
wrapped ourselves in textiles, walked on carpets, decorated and
told stories with
embroidery and tapestry. Long dismissed as mere craft, skills in
traditional fabric making and decorating have now been embraced
as art by art historians and adopted by artists as appropriate
ways to create art, to express ideas, or to tell stories. We'll
look at a range of examples over time and across continents.

More Change looks at the less philosophical, more
sensual approach of Venetian artists and at how artists in other
parts of Italy responded to the challenge of making art after the
ideas and ideals had been so well mastered earlier.

Saarinen
House at Cranbrook exemplifies Eliel Saarinen's belief that an
architect's mission is total design from the building and its
setting to the spoon on the table inside. He believed in
including his talented family in design as well.

Cranbrook, but will begin with his work in his native Finland
and branch out to include designs by Lola, Pipa, and Eero
Saarinen.
