New online video "Anni Albers: Experiments" examines the theory and practice of Anni Albers

While the exhibition In Thread and On Paper: Anni Albers in Connecticut is postponed during the pandemic, the New Britain Museum of American Art has collaborated with the Albers Foundation to create online material. In the video "Anni Albers: Experiments" education director and exhibition curator Fritz Horstman joins associate curator Karis Medina to examine the theory and practice of Anni Albers. Following Albers's idea that a weaving is a whole built out of parts, Fritz and Karis interweave quotes by Anni Albers with lines from some of the authors she admired most. Images and audio clips further evoke the incredible body of textiles, works on paper, and written work that Anni Albers produced during the forty-four years that she lived in her adopted state of Connecticut. The video is online at the New Britain Museum of American Art's website at nbmaa.org/experiments.
