Textile Museum to organize Fall Symposium from Friday, October 19 to Sunday, October 21, 2007.
Complementing and expanding ideas from all three fall exhibitions at The Textile Museum, this weekend conference explores the history and new frontiers of collecting from different perspectives. Participants enjoy a varied program of presentations by scholars and collectors, receptions, exhibition tours and a special "Show-and-Tell" session.
Although textiles have a long tradition of being passed down from one generation to another, they are one of the hottest new areas of collecting. Why are people drawn to fiber art? What types of work do they collect? Join us for The Textile Museum Fall Symposium as we explore what's collectible now as well as the historical, psychoanalytic and sociological bases for why people obtain and keep objects.
The Textile Museum is dedicated to furthering the understanding of mankind's creative achievements in the textile arts. As a museum, it is committed to its role as a center of excellence in the scholarly research, conservation, interpretation and exhibition of textiles, with particular concern for the artistic, technical and cultural significance of its collections.
