“You can’t go anywhere in the world without touching fiber,” maintains the textile artist Sheila Hicks. The art historian Monique Lévi-Strauss, who has dedicated her life to studying textile practices in the non-Western world, agrees. This exhibition pairs 30 artworks by Hicks—pieces rooted in the knotting, braiding, coiling, and tying of ancient Andean weaving—with 20 pieces from the museum’s collection selected by Lévi-Strauss. As Hicks said in 2014, regarding the lesson that artists through the centuries have had to learn, “At the beginning you try to make materials do what you want them to do. As time goes on you understand how to let them do what they want to do, but your way.” —Elena Clavarino
