A Golden Spider-Silk Textile
Saturday October 22, 2011 from 10:30am - 5:00pm
Art Institute of Chicago
122 S Michigan Ave
Chicago, Illinois 60603 Get Directions
Strands of silk from over one million of Madagascar's golden orb spiders (Nephila madagascariensis) were woven together to make this dazzling textile, the only one of its kind in the world. Completed in 2008, the panel's story underscores the globalism that is characteristic of many textile genres in Africa. Created by Simon Peers and Nicholas Godley, the loan of this rare textile celebrates the opening of the Art Institute's redesigned galleries of African art and Indian art of the Americas.
