Seamgallery a private project of Sima Sela , The leading Fiberart
Gallery in Israel , opens it`s 100th exhibition, in 13 years. The
10oth exhibition , is dedicated to the Seam =Tefer [tefer is the
Hebrew word for Seam]. the most Basic practice of Embroidery ,
sewing . 50 artists were invited to express themselves about this
Term , The works are very interesting , every artist approached the
term with his/her own meaning /feeling about this term. Seam is a
loaded word , it has not only textilic connections , but is used in
Geology , in politics , in fruits and loans itself to many various
meanings. Many fiberartis who are now mainstrem artists, started in
this gallery. The public has learned to apprcitae the quality of the
exhibitions and openings attract always more that 200 people and
mostly many more. Than during the time the exhibtion is open it
usually attracts up to 700-800 [and some times more] people which is
remarkable since the gallery isn`t in a big city . I wish Sima many
more years of productive work mirjam
