Dallas Contemporary will present "You Stretched Diagonally Across It: Contemporary Tapestry," a group exhibition bringing together 30 artists. Organized by Mexico-based curator Su Wu, the exhibition is at once a taxonomical examination and categorical collapse, offering extended engagement with tapestry while reflecting how contemporary artists have magnified and challenged the material, ideological, and narrative conventions of the age-old medium.
Expanding on a recent spate of exhibitions featuring historical textile works, "You Stretched Diagonally Across It" presents contemporary tapestry as an active inflection point for unresolved inquiries into the human condition, including notions of tradition and authenticity, durational effort in the face of technological mediation, and depictions of vastness and omniscience in physical form.
