The Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art presents the solo exhibition Annet Couwenberg: Sewing Circles from January 28 until May 10, 2025.
Annet Couwenberg: Sewing Circles features an overview of ten years of cultural research, digital experimentation, and finished artifacts. Annet Couwenberg completed the work as part of her studio practice and in partnerships with cultural institutions in North America, Europe, and Asia. The artistic projects presented in this exhibition highlight the expanding technological parameters related to textiles and fabrics and their specific application in the arenas of scientific research, fashion and interior design, and contemporary social issues. The exhibition explores her depth of research as well as the multiple intersections that are revealed between established disciplines and fields of knowledge.
Annet Couwenberg: Sewing Circles is curated by Lori Rubeling. The traveling exhibition is organized by the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture, UMBC with support from Maryland State Arts Council. Couwenberg will be the Windgate Artist-in-Residence at KSU in Spring 2025.
