Chloe Colchester's up-to-the-minute survey reveals a diverse,
exciting and provocative field, one at the vanguard of
extraordinary technological developments while also the source of
astonishing works of beauty. From colour-changing, light-sensitive
camouflage to emergency shelters of cement-impregnated fabric
bonded to an inflatable plastic, from Eley Kishimoto's gorgeous
patterns to the astonishing colours of Morphotex, this dazzlingly
fresh sourcebook of original and inspiring designs will appeal to
all designers and anyone with an interest in textiles.
Textile Technology and Design addresses the critical role of the
interior at the intersection of design and technology, with a range
of interdisciplinary arguments by a wide range of contributors:
from design practitioners to researchers and scholars to aerospace
engineers. Chapters examine the way in which textiles and
technology - while seemingly distinct - continually inform each
other through their persistent overlapping of interests, and
eventually coalesce in the practice of interior design. Covering
all kinds of interiors from domestic (prefabricated kitchens and 3D
wallpaper) to extreme (underwater habitats and space stations), it
features a variety of critical aspects including pattern and
ornament, domestic technologies, craft and the imperfect, gender
issues, sound and smart textiles. This book is essential reading
for students of textile technology, textile design and interior
design.
The artistic works by Sabine Groschup, a student of Maria Lassnig,
range from painting, textile art and cinematic creations to
sculptural pieces, literature and photography as well as spatial,
video and sound installations. In her Augsburg solo exhibition "DER
DOPPELTE (T)RAUM" (the Double Dream), Groschup presents her
multifaceted work on a specially created, surreal stage. Real space
and dream oscillate and merge into one another. This sets in motion
a tense interplay between reality and dream, which is the focus of
the artist's creative oeuvre. The essays collected here - by Silvia
Eiblmayr, Katja Gasser and Peter Weibel, among others - help the
reader to decipher and classify this oeuvre. First comprehensive
presentation of Groschup's extensive and diverse artistic oeuvre.

This volume brings together research into the process of
commercialization of the folk crafts of Thailand: the conditions of
its emergence, the parties involved in its development, the changes
in the processes and organization of production which accompany it,
the channels through which commercialized craft products are
marketed, the nature of the audiences they reach, and the
transformations in appearance and meaning which the products
undergo as a result of their commercialization. The first part of
the book explores the commercialization of hill tribe textiles,
particularly those of the Hmong refugees from Laos. The second part
presents a series of case studies of the various ways in which the
products of lowland Thai "craft villages" became commercialized.
This updated edition of Volume 2 of the Photographic Guide

affiliation. All catalogue information, including collection date,
description of the basic technology used, provenience, function,
materials, and maker, is specified when known. The guide serves as
a valuable tool and stimulus for further research into North
American Indian baskets, of which the Peabody Museum holds more
than 3,000 examples.
Common Threads explores ideas of artistic identity and memory
contained within the narrated stories of ten textile artists. It
reveals how individuals bring a sense of linearity to fragments of
memory and create a cohesive sense of self through telling their
life's story.By employing a systems model, the author constructs
new ideas of interrogating identity and art practice. The model,
"Constructing Personal Narratives", brings into focus the
hermeneutic circle of learning, and identifies the importance and
need to provide opportunities for lifelong learning. The stories
told by the participants who returned to the formal education
sector later in life reveal the profound effects adult learning had
upon their lives. The writer reveals how the model generated the
interview questions that provided the rich biographical content
that emerged within dialogues.The common threads of experience and
feelings of the ten participants and the author are revealed, and
from these emerge deepened understandings of both the place of
stories within our lives and how stories can further an
understanding of what it means to be an artist. Emerging from these
stories are implications for teaching practice; these are presented
as observations and questions in terms of how educators should be
part of the learning experience with those they educate.
