Craft in America Center presents “Material Meaning: A Living Legacy of Anni Albers,” an exhibit running from Saturday, July 13, through Saturday, Sept. 21.

The exhibit explores the ongoing legacy of Albers through 10 contemporary American artists and designers working with textiles. It includes pieces by Samantha Bittman, Lois Bryant, Christy Matson, Jennifer Moore, Brittany Wittman McLaughlin, Rachel Snack, Susie Taylor, Cameron Taylor-Brown, Suzanne Tick and Marcia Weiss.

The woven prototypes, experiments and functional woven textiles were created with methods mirroring Albers’ varied design practice. The exhibition coincides with the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus, the iconic German art school where Albers studied and later taught. As a teacher, Albers helped establish a pedagogy still used by many artists.

Each participating artist draws upon different aspects of Albers’ artworks and designs. The exhibition is guest curated by Cameron Taylor-Brown. Craft in America Center is located at 8415 W. Third St. For information, call (323)951-0610, or visit craftinamerica.org.
