The exhibition “Structures: Weaving in Israel, from Functionalism to Fiber Art” is the first comprehensive exhibition surveying the history of weaving art and design in Israel. It features works by 23 artists active in this field from the 1940s to the present day. The works reflect the wide range of weaving that developed from the principles of Functionalism, displaying both an affinity with a centuries-old tradition and a constant attempt to push its boundaries.
