At the Shepherd, Detroit gallery Library Street Collective presents Warp and Weft: Technologies within Textiles, a hefty group show of thirty-six artists, curated by Allison Glenn, Artistic Director of the Shepherd. Featuring a multiplicity of shimmering works engaging fiber and fiber-adjacent practices, the exhibition includes gallery-represented favorites, historic Detroit makers, as well as emerging artists and Indigenous and international practitioners. 

For Joshua Rainer’s first show at Louis Buhl & Co.—Library Street Collective’s emerging artist imprint in Detroit—Rainer debuts seven new paintings on geometric canvases featuring hands clasping, grasping, and reaching—one’s hand being the embodied locus of touch, belonging, and communion.
