More Information
The Rhinoceros Project, the collaborative duo of Anne Beck and Michelle Wilson, will have work as part of this upcoming exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles.
This special anniversary exhibition highlights recent acquisitions at San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles in a series of thematic installations spanning three galleries. Both the specific artworks and broader themes explored in this survey reflect the diverse reasons our Museum seeks and acquires new works. New Directions prominently features recent artwork from SJMQT's Artist in Residence program. Established in 2016, this program supports local artists with on-site studio space and opportunities to exhibit work in the Museum’s Maker Space Gallery. This program has deepened the Museum’s commitment to supporting contemporary artists from or working in the Bay Area, including the Rhinoceros Project.
Works of art gifted by the Museum’s many donors and patrons appear in each section of New Directions. Their generosity and dedication allow us to expand SJMQT’s collections and cultivate curiosity, wonder, and excitement in our audiences.

The exhibition "Paper haiku" is the visualization of those values.
The artworks of Małgorzata Antoszewska - Moneta are dominated by elements of far eastern culture because of her stay in Japan, where she learned the art of making Japanese paper called washi in the studio of Isao Nakamura, as well as calligraphy and woodcut; as the artist says: "... it decided about one of my artistic paths, influenced the others"; apart from the paper sphere, the artist deals with painting, unique photography and graphics.

Marie-Claire Meier and Jean-Dominique Humbert shape the imprint of the moment. They make us feel the rustle of the envelope, the layers of paper, the suspended dresses, then the murmur of the gesture and the line. They sculpt fragments of time that lull us into the love and fragility of things. From their material, they extract a story, a memory, which they whisper to us through the textures and the breath of words.

The Cube Universe is the first interactive installation that Valentin Bakardjiev developed under this research. He gives the viewers chance to feel that they can have the universe in their hands and to see the problems around us in different perspectives. Having The Cube Universe literally in your hands is to understand how responsibility acting as a small individual is important to influence the future.
“The ancient crafts I use come from an era when our planet was still clean. I’m putting my work in a new context of sustainability and multidisciplinary art.”

‘Mykobütten’ by Tanja Major Handmade MUSHROOM PAPER - made from 100% mushrooms:
"My handmade mushroom paper artworks show new possibilities of paper making, they are made of almost 100% mushrooms and are therefore ‘compostable or sustainable art’ that can be returned to nature or the forest. The fascination with mushrooms has led me to work artistically with their substance and the pigments extracted from them since September 2020."
