Today's Washington Post carried a rave review of a textile art exhibit currently open. You can read the review here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/06/AR2...
There are works created from knitted pieces and sculptural works created with bed sheets. Take a look.
I haven't seen it, but it is always so heartening when textile art is taken seriously and treated as fine art. I'm just sorry the museum didn't have more pictures of it on their website.
