Dianna Frid: TIME IS TEXTILE
November 4, 2022–January 13, 2023
Alan Koppel Gallery
806 North Dearborn Street
Chicago, IL
Opening Reception:
Friday, Nov 4, 6:00–9:00pm
Artist conversation with Dianna Frid and John Neff:
Friday, Dec 2, 6:00–8:00pm
ALAN KOPPEL GALLERY is pleased to present Time is Textile, a solo exhibition of new works by artist Dianna Frid. The works in Time is Textile—seven books and three wall pieces—grapple with themes of mortality, surrender, disaster, awe, and singing. Sewn text is prevalent in these mixed-media artworks. And yet, as much as Frid’s work intersects with and borrows from written language, it also wrestles with language and its limits.
