  • Seth Siegelaub: The Stuff That Matters at Raven Row

    Art

    1 Mar 2012 to 6 May 2012

    The Stuff that Matters is a collection of historic textiles. The pieces have been assembled by Seth Siegelaub over the past 30 years for the Center for Social Research on Old Textiles (CSROT). The exhibition features over 200 items from a collection currently comprising around 650. It includes oven and printed textiles, embroideries and costume, ranging from 5th Century Coptic to Pre-Columbian Peruvian textiles, late medieval Asian and Islamic textiles, and Renaissance to 18th Century European silks and velvets. Barkcloth (tapa) and headdresses from the Pacific region (especially Papua New Guinea) and Africa are also displayed. Seth Siegelaub was born in the Bronx in 1941. After running his own gallery in New York from 1964 to 1966, he played a pivotal role in the emergence of what became known as Conceptual Art, which resulted in a series of 21 art exhibitions in groundbreaking formats he organised between 1968 and 1971. In 1972 he left the art world and moved to Paris, where he published and collected left books on communication and culture and founded the International Mass Media Research Center.
