Visual Art Center of New Jersey, Summit, NJ

Main Gallery

Painted Threads explores the intersection of weaving and painting in contemporary art. Beginning with the loom, the artists in the exhibition deconstruct elements of painting and weaving, and reconfigure paint, thread, and other materials to create unique hybridized works that blur the boundaries between fine art and craft. Participating artists include Mark Barrow and Sarah Parke, Samantha Bittman, Crystal Gregory, Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson, Victoria Manganiello, Desire Moheb-Zandi, and Oriane Stender
