Last Day for Exhibit: NIEDECKER PANELS by KATHERINE KUEHN
September 14, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 6:00 pm
FreeKatherine Kuehn’s gorgeous wall hangings present short poems by the incomparable Lorine Niedecker, sewn onto vintage textiles hand-dyed in indigo.
The Niedecker panels are accompanied by two other sewn projects featuring texts by David Abel (Threnos) and Henry David Thoreau (Winter Lines).
Printer, printmaker, and book artist Katherine Kuehn has been sewing texts for many years, making innovative objects that transform the act of reading.
“After twenty-five years of setting type by hand,” she once remarked, “I wanted something slower.”
The works in the exhibition can be seen during regular shop hours (Thursday through Saturday, 12:00-6:00 pm), as well as by appointment other days and times.
