DESCRIPTION:If weaving is a form of soft computation why was it never consi
 dered alongside media theory in the late 20th century? This talk looks at t
 he emergence of the fiber art movement in exhibitions in the 1960s and ’70s
  to consider how a calculated form of participation in a fine art space cur
 bed understandings of textile design\, limiting readings of artists’ object
 s. In this talk\, Dr. Mills proposes a new spectrum of textility and examin
 es how a media language of textiles not only informs artists’ practices tod
 ay\, but also moves them into an interdependent relationship with craft\, d
 omesticity and traditions of gendered labor. She argues that we are in the 
 midst of a burgeoning second wave of textile art that demands new methods o
 f contextualization. Artists investigated include:  Samantha Bittman\, Chri
 sty Matson\, Marianne Fairbanks\, Sarah Rosalena\, Beryl Korot\, Lenore Taw
 ney and Anni Albers.\n\nSarah Mills is an assistant professor of art histor
 y at San José State University. She specializes in modern design and contem
 porary art with a focus on textiles and fiber practices. Sarah’s research w
 as most recently supported by fellowships at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydne
 y and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. She writes for Smarthisto
 ry.org\, the Journal of Modern Craft and Textiles: Cloth and Culture. In th
 e fall\, Dr. Mills will teach a textile history and theory course with the 
 collection of the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles.
