Exhibitions Here and There
✭ San Francisco's de Young Museum continues its exhibition of textiles in "On the Grid: Textiles and Minimalism". An examination of design principles and processes related to the selection and use of materials, the show reveals through the display of more than two dozen textiles from the museum's collection how textile traditions share many of the aesthetic choices commonly ascribed to Minimalist works. The exhibition concludes February 12.
✭ Vessels of cobalt blue and copper green dating from the 9th through 19th centuries are on view in "Sky Blue: Color in Ceramics of the Islamic World", continuing through July at the Sackler Gallery, Washington, D.C. Distinctive both as pigments for painting and writing and as colorants to saturate glazes, the colors are used by potters in many workshops throughout the Islamic World.
✭ An exhibition of small-scale historic and contemporary photographic work is on view through March 12 at the New Mexico Museum of Art. Titled "Small Wonders", the exhibition features 19th Century photographs as well as work by six contemporary artists: Susan R Goldstein, David Janesko, Jenna Kuiper, Jan Pietrzak, Liz Stekeete, and Laurie Tumer.
