Item description from seller

pp. 24. Squqare 8vo., measuring 7" x 8". Pictorial, twice-stapled, card covers, glassine endpapers. Richly illustrated with black-and-white, and colour photographic reproductions, printed on translucent glassine plates. Bright, clean, and unmarked with firm, sound binding; fine. Corresponds to OCLC #35840313. Scarce in commerce. Fine. Conceived and organized by Gary Markle, Meta Textiles extends the Art Gallery's tradition of contributing to discussion around textile media. As the exhibition title suggests, the curator has chosen to emphasize a range of critical practices.

I thank them for their support of this exhibition, and for their works. The exhibition brings together the work of established and emergent artists, from within and without the Atlantic region. In addition, it takes the risk of bypassing such exclusionary categories as "textile artist," "visual artist" and "craftsperson," to probe the places where art and fashion intersect.…
