The Textile Museum 2010 Annual Report

THE TEXTILE MUSEUM 2010 ANNUAL REPORT

84634_report.indd 1 12/2/11 2:51 PM

Textiles are valued for both their artistry and the window they open into the lives of their makers. Through changing exhibitions and public programs for all ages, The Textile Museum expands public knowledge and appreciation—locally, nationally, and internationally—of the artistic merit and cultural importance of the world’s textiles.

Founded in 1925 by George Hewitt Myers, The Textile Museum is an international center for the exhibition, study, collection, and preservation of the textile arts. The Textile Museum collection encompasses more than 19,000 objects that date from 3,000 BCE to the present, including some of the world’s finest examples of rugs and textiles from the Near East, Central Asia, East and Southeast Asia, Africa, and the indigenous cultures of the Americas. Included in the collection are extraordinary holdings of the Islamic world and pre-Columbian textiles. The museum’s 20,000-volume Arthur D. Jenkins Library of Textile Arts is among the world’s foremost resources for the study of textiles.

1 The Textile Museum : 2010 Annual Report

Yoichi Nakajima is a Japanese textile artist who replicates historical silks. During a November 2009 visit to The TM, Nakajima was particularly struck by four 11th-/12th-century Chinese fragments depicting boys, peonies, and pomegranates. Nakajima determined the full repeat of the pattern through studying a sister fragment at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and reproduced the textile entirely by hand. This textile was donated to The Textile Museum in 2010 by the S&R Foundation. For further acquisitions, see pages 5 and 6.

Through achievements in art, scholarship, publications, and education, The Textile Museum shared its international collection with an equally global audience in 2010. New initiatives, whether exhibitions or programs, furthered our work to showcase the artistic merit and cultural importance of the world’s textiles. This past year, the galleries transported audiences from 19th-century Uzbekistan in the exhibition Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian Ikats to 20th-century England in Art by the Yard: Women Design Mid-Century Britain. The keystone exhibition Colors of the Oasis presented one of the finest and most important assemblages of ikat-dyed textiles, a complex and beautiful artistic tradition. The accompanying catalog, replete with new research, reinvigorated the museum’s

reputation for publishing important scholarly resources. Our deepest thanks are due to the late Murad Megalli, who generously donated this ikat textile collection to the museum before his untimely death in February 2011. The impact of his contribution will continue to grow when the exhibit travels to the Seattle Art Museum in 2012 and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in 2014.

Through new initiatives to engage its local, national and international audience, The Textile Museum continued to encourage cultural understanding. Study tours to Sante Fe, New Mexico and Uzbekistan connected participants to contemporary textile artists. An after-hours series, which offers creative means to explore exhibitions, is connecting our collection with a new generation of enthusiasts. Collaborations between arts organizations and the diplomatic community remain vibrant. In October, together with the Ambassador of Turkey, the museum honored scholar, author, and curator Michael Franses with the 2010 George Hewitt Myers Award, celebrating his extraordinary lifetime contributions in the textile arts.

Our collection is as diverse and vibrant as the community we serve. Roughly 100 textiles were bestowed to the museum by generous individuals, marking 2010 as the year the collection surpassed 19,000 objects. Providing access for scholars to conduct research is a priority, and more than 850 textiles from our collection were studied first-hand this past year.

These endeavors in education, and the continued care we provide for our world-renowned collection, were accomplished with a balanced budget. This achievement, impressive within a challenging economic climate, was made possible by the support of those who share our vision: the Board of Trustees, Advisory Council, donors and members, volunteers and interns, and staff. Together, we offer our sincere thanks for your continued support of The Textile Museum as we evolve and seek new ways to cultivate the next generation of textile enthusiasts.

The Art of Living: Textile Furnishings from the Permanent CollectionFebruary 12, 2010 - January 9, 2011Homes and furnishings shape the human experience of everyday life. The Art of Living highlighted this phenomenon through the display of textile furnishings—including hangings, rugs, chair covers, and cushions—spanning thousands of years and several cultures. The textiles’ diversity reflected the historical and cultural breadth of The Textile Museum’s collection. Curator: Lee Talbot, Textile Museum Associate Curator, Eastern Hemisphere Collections.

From high fashion to historical ikats, exhibitions at The Textile Museum in 2010 explored the broad spectrum of textile traditions from across the globe.


Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian IkatsOctober 16, 2010 - March 13, 2011

Ikats derive their name from the complex

technique used to make them, wherein

bundled threads are bound and dyed

before weaving. Ikats from 19th-century

Central Asia are considered masterworks

of the tradition. The Textile Museum’s late

friend and trustee Murad Megalli donated

the remarkable collection featured in this

exhibition and catalog. His gift of nearly 200

textiles propelled The Textile Museum into

the repository of one of the world’s finest

collections of Central Asian ikats.

Curator: Sumru Belger Krody, Textile Museum Curator, Eastern Hemisphere Collections

Art by the Yard: Women Design Mid-Century BritainMay 15, 2010 - September 12, 2010

In post-WWII Britain, three women designers were pivotal in the country’s transformation from wartime austerity to optimistic

consumerism: Lucienne Day, Jacqueline Groag, and Marian Mahler. These groundbreaking designers created elegant yet affordable products with

dramatic saturated colors and bold motifs. Art by the Yard featured their textiles, drawings, collages, ceramics and period furniture drawn from

the Jill A. Wiltse and H. Kirk Brown, III Collection of British Textiles. Curator: Shanna Shelby.

Care and management of the permanent collection is of critical importance to The Textile Museum. In 2010, this priority took shape in the extensive preparation required for the exhibition Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian Ikats.

The dedication of many skilled individuals over several years contributed to the beautiful presentation of this exhibition. Recent graduate and senior conservators joined forces in preparing the objects; conservators focused on stabilizing the textiles while various volunteers assisted with creating custom-made displays. Collections management staff and interns worked closely with the conservation and facilities departments to install the objects on their mounts in the galleries. From the hundreds of photos taken of the preservation and installation process, a time-lapse video was created, giving the public insight into the exhibition installation process, and offering a unique and attractive piece for the year-end fundraising campaign.

leadership in the textile artsAnnual Awards Each year The Textile Museum Board of Trustees bestows the George Hewitt Myers Award, named for the museum’s founder, on an individual for lifetime achievement in the textile arts. In 2010, renowned textile publisher and scholar Michael Franses received this distinguished accolade. Textile Museum trustees, donors, and friends paid him tribute at a fall event held at the Turkish Ambassador’s residence.

Franses is the author and publisher of numerous textile-related books and periodicals as well as co-founder of several organizations. As a former dealer of antique rugs and textiles, he has helped build major private and institutional collections worldwide for over 40 years. “Perhaps no one else alive today has accomplished more for the field of Oriental carpets and textiles than Michael Franses,” said Textile Museum Board President Bruce P. Baganz.

During the evening event, The Textile Museum also presented the Award of Distinction to Murad Megalli for his contributions in fulfillment of the museum’s mission. Megalli donated his collection of 19th-century Central Asian ikats to the museum

The Textile Museum benefits enormously from the committed and talented individuals who comprise its Board of Trustees, the body responsible for museum governance. The museum’s Advisory Council also supports the museum through assistance with fundraising, marketing and other initiatives.

and a selection was displayed in the exhibition Colors of the Oasis. Megalli’s acceptance of the 2010 award was made more poignant with his tragic passing in February 2011. He was a great friend to the museum, and his legacy will be remembered through The Murad Megalli Collection.

84634_report.indd 11 12/2/11 2:53 PM

The Textile Museum is committed to its role as a center of excellence for scholarly research. This is pursued through publications, lectures, and professional service by the Textile Museum staff and research associates. Significantly, 2010 marked the publication of Colors of the Oasis: Central Asian Ikats, a 300 page, full-color catalog which illustrates the entire collection given to the museum by Murad Megalli in 2005, 2009, and 2010.

The Textile Museum continually fosters opportunities to engage the next generation of textile enthusiasts and scholars. A special collaboration with fiber students from the Maryland Institute College of Art resulted in the creation of models and photos demonstrating ikat design, tying, and dyeing which were incorporated into the Colors of the Oasis exhibition.

The Arthur D. Jenkins Library plays a key role in the museum’s position as a research center. Following a year-long closure for reorganization, October 2010 marked the first anniversary of the library’s reopening. Together with the help of committed volunteers, Librarian Lydia Fraser continues incorporating textile articles published in periodicals into the library catalog. The Jenkins Library is the only resource for this helpful research tool.

gallery talks by curators and other experts looked in depth at specific works or themes inthe exhibitions.

Rug & Textile Appreciation Mornings In Memory of Harold M. KeshishianThe longest-running program in the museum’s history, these Saturday sessions presented by collectors and experts continue to draw textile enthusiasts.

The Textile Museum Fall Symposium Every fall the museum draws people from across the country for this annual symposium. The 2010 program, “Tying the Rainbow: Reexamining Central Asian Ikats,” explored both the historic tradition and recent revival of ikat production in Central Asia through lectures, a “Show-and-Tell” of related textiles, and evening receptions.

Workshops In 2010, The Textile Museum presented the first“Summer Arts Workshop Series,” which includedsessions on silk-screening, textile storage andmounting, and digital textile design.

Arts for Families Throughout the year, The Textile Museum offers monthly drop-in family programs as well as larger festivals designed for both adults and children. In March 2010, the museum partnered with the Japan-America Society of Washington, D.C. for a midwinter “Matsuri” festival. In June, the museum presented the 32nd annual “Celebration of Textiles,” featuring sheep shearing, demonstrations, and the debut of textile artwork created by local students.

Ask-a-Curator, Ask-a-ConservatorA drop-in monthly Antiques Roadshow-style program encourages visitors to bring in their own textiles for review by museum staff for information and advice on preservation and display.

Evenings at The TMThis series, generously underwritten by Trustee Eleanor T. Rosenfeld, features exhibition-related lectures by guest scholars followed by wine-and-cheese receptions. Topics in 2010 ranged from Japanese quilts to Central Asian music.

Lectures and ToursA variety of lectures are presented throughout theyear at The Textile Museum, allowing attendees tolearn from visiting scholars and artists. Lunchtime

inspiring through education Textiles provide an opportunity to teach us about so much—art, design, culture, history, and more. Education programs at The Textile Museum reach learners of many ages, through beloved yearly programs like “Celebration of Textiles,” or brand-new exhibition-focused activities.

Remembering Harold M. Keshishian The Textile Museum lost a great friend with the passing of trustee emeritus and supporter Harold M. Keshishian in July 2010. Of Armenian descent, Keshishian joined his family’s rug business in 1956 and went on to serve on the United States Cultural Properties Advisory Committee. In 2008, he was honored with The Textile Museum’s inaugural Award of Distinction, given in recognition of his outstanding service to the museum’s mission. In 2010, the “Rug & Textile Appreciation Mornings” series was named in recognition of Keshishian, who helped found the program in the 1970s.

special events

Embassy Partnerships With its international focus and “Embassy Row” location, The Textile Museum is well positioned for fruitful partnerships with various countries. In 2010, the museum offered a special viewing of art and antiquities at the Peruvian Ambassador’s residence. The museum also presented demonstrations by artists affiliated with Argentina’s national design program, “Identidades Productivas.” In the fall, the museum held its annual award event at the elegant Turkish Ambassador’s residence.

Fashion Events Inspired by the Contemporary Japanese Fashion exhibition, 2010 began with a fashionable start at The Textile Museum. In January, the museum sold out two shows of Harajuku Japanese street chic fashions. The following month, the museum’s galleries provided the dynamic setting for D.C. Fashion Week’s kick-off event.

National Cherry Blossom FestivalAs a participant in the 2010 National Cherry Blossom Festival—the nation’s largest springtime celebration—the museum took part in the Family Day and the Southwest Waterfront Festival. During both events, the museum engaged thousands of visitors in craft-making activities.

PM @ The TMIn 2010, The Textile Museum launched the new “PM @ The TM” series, designed to engage a broader audience through fun, educational programming after regular museum hours. The April “Hapi Hapi Hour” celebrated Japan, while the August “Mod Madness” event had a mid-century theme.

Summer in the GardenThe Textile Museum’s garden was the setting for two nights of cutting-edge performance art with “Interwoven: Evenings in Performance” in July 2010. In September, the museum celebrated “Otsukimi,” or the harvest moon viewing, with an evening of koto music, origami and refreshments,co-presented with the Japan-America Society of Washington, D.C.

Through special events at the museum and in the Washington, D.C. community, The Textile Museum constantly seeks new ways to engage a broader audience in learning about the textile arts.

volunteersThe Textile Museum could not exist without one of its most

important assets—the dedicated volunteers who devote

thousands of hours annually to the museum. In 2010, over

160 volunteers served almost 2,500 hours as docents,

program volunteers, departmental volunteers, New Horizons

Committee members and public program presenters. The

Textile Museum is grateful for their many contributions.
