SHEBOYGAN, WI.- The John Michael Kohler Arts Center presents Laced With History, on view through May 20, 2007. Many contemporary artists use lace as a formal or theoretical starting point in order to address issues related to personal history and cultural memory, class and gender, the processes of making, and the relationship between form and content. Laced with History begins with lace made by historical and contemporary lace makers. It then moves to the sculptures, drawings, paintings, and jewelry of 30 contemporary artists who use or reference lace. Together, these artists offer a new context for understanding lace—namely, its role within contemporary art and, by extension, contemporary culture and society.
