TSGNY RED + ONE / Korea Bojagi Forum 2018
March 28, 2018
INSTRUCTIONS FOR EXHIBITING ARTISTS
The TEXTILE STUDY GROUP OF NEW YORK has been invited by Chunghie Lee to have an exhibit of our work to be shown as part of the Korea Bojagi Forum 2018 in Seoul, Korea (May 31-June 3). This is an exhibit open to all full members of TSGNY.
DEBIE MORRIS (debiemorris@gmail.com) will be the registrar for this exhibition. DEBIE will be collecting bios, entry forms and images to send to Korea. We will send you updates and post them on the website (http://www.tsgny.org/red-plus-one/) – such as shipping details – as soon as we get them.
Work need not be literally Bojagi, but should have Bojagi as a point of departure. Concepts of patching and wrapping more important than technical accuracy. Work can be made of material other than fabric – e.g., paper, other pliable material. It does not have to be sewn.
