Saturday October 26, 2013 – Sunday January 15, 2014
Opening Reception: Saturday October 26 / 4–6pm
Winner of the 73rd Annual Guild Hall Members Exhibition (2011) selected by Awards Juror Deborah Cullen, Ph.D., Director of Curatorial Programs at El Museo del Barrio, New York. Christa Maiwald has explored various media, including film, video, photography, painting, installation, and performance. For the past 13 years, she has used fiber in the form of embroidered imagery to tell her narrative. Her work focuses on people, whether young adolescents, comedians, blue-chip artists or notorious dictators. The images are embroidered on bedspreads, pillows, embroidery loops, lampshades, chair seats or simply framed. They make various social statements and tell their story in a unique often tongue-in-cheek way. Maiwald is an East Hampton based artist who has lived and worked here for the last 30 years. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue. Christina M. Strassfield, Museum Director/Chief Curator, organizes this exhibition.
