EXHIBITION NEWS
Kris Gregson Moss
Kris Gregory Moss, Chanson de Degas
Kris has two works in the Adirondack Region Textile Artists Alliance, ARTAA at Tannery Pond in North Creek, NY.
Show Dates: April 30 – May 25, 2011
Reception: Saturday, May 14, 2011, 5-7 PM.
ARTAA is a group of twenty textile artists who came together in 2005 to promote the concept that works of fine art may be created with textiles. Our premier show was mounted at Tannery Pond in April of 2006. We have since shown each year at the Adirondack Museum’s Fiber and Fabric Festival, as the invitational group at the Arts Center in Old Forge, at the Guilderland Public Library, at the Wings Falls Quilt Guild’s Spring Festival, and at the Spring Street Gallery in Saratoga Springs. Our members have won national prizes, mounted solo art shows and exhibited both nationally and internationally.
ARTAA’s signature element of display is their unique approach to use of materials and techniques and a willingness to venture forward into both two and three-dimensional art forms. Specific to Tannery Pond’s exhibit will be “Inspired by Degas”, a collection of pieces first produced for a show in conjunction with the Season of Degas and his Music, promoted by the Hyde Museum in Glens Falls during the summer of 2009.
In addition the group will be exhibiting, “Road Kill”, in which textile pieces must contain or reference an item found on or alongside a road.
