In 2010, the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles launched the International TECHstyle Art Biennial (ITAB). Returning in 2012, ITAB is a juried exhibition of work by artists merging fiber media with new information and communication technologies in their artistic processes, as a medium of artistic expression, and/or in the content of their work.
Here's what the museum has to say:
"As fibers, textiles, and the language of textile patterning have achieved wide attention in contemporary art practice--often as a means of evoking an experience that is both historical and contemporary--ITAB seeks to expose and explore the tensions between and among works by artists using fiber media whose work employs diverse artistic disciplines."
The museum welcomes submissions from artists in the fields of architecture, fashion, fiber art, installation art, interior design, new media, painting, sculpture, etc. Artwork demonstrating a keen understanding and mastery of the aesthetic, structural/technical, and semiotic possibilities of fiber and of digital, computerized, or networked information and communication technologies are the hallmark of the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles‚ International TECHstyle Art Biennial.
The deadline for Submissions to the biennial exhibition is April 2, 2012. If you work with fiber and deal with technology in your artistic process or in the content of your work, this exhibition is for you. For more information and an entry form, click here.
