Articulation, a Canadian exhibiting art group working with textiles and fibre as a fine art medium, takes traditional fiber art techniques in new and contemporary directions. Since 2004 they have organised annual study sessions to unique places in Canada, which serve to unify the resulting individual bodies of work when shown in their group exhibitions across Canada.
A recent study of the Bay of Fundy coastline has generated a new path for Articulation leading to exhibiting internationally with another contemporary fiber arts group, Material Girls, based in London, England, who were inspired by their iconic River Thames. The resulting combined body of work, ARTICULATED MATERIALS: BRIDGING WATERS, consists of one 2D artwork each from ten Material Girls members and ten Articulation members. In addition, each group will have available more works to include in the exhibition while it is touring their respective country.
After a successful 2012 London tour, the exhibition is travelling across Canada in 2013. The first showing was in Winnipeg earlier this year with the second to be in the Tulista Community Art Gallery, Sidney, Vancouver Island, from September 1st to 14th, open daily from 10 am to 4 pm.
A studio will be set up in the gallery where Articulation artists will be working while the exhibition is open.
Note: Articulation includes several local (Alberta) members of SDA
