Cecilia Vicuña: weaving with fabric and language in Chicago

4 September–27 November 2015 

Cecilia Vicuña has installed a new iteration of The Origin of Weaving – a poem in space that traces the symbolic invention of the first cross thread from which all weaving is derived – at the Poetry Foundation, Chicago. It is part of the exhibition Dianna Frid and Cecilia Vicuña: A Textile Exhibition that investigates the intersection of weaving, textiles and language.

On 17 September, Vicuña will present a site-specific performance as part of the exhibition.
