Threads of Power: Lace from the Textilmuseum St. Gallen marks the US debut of more than 150 examples of lace from the extensive collection of the Textilmuseum St. Gallen, Switzerland. It traces the development of lace from its sixteenth-century origins to the present—the first large-scale American exhibition in New York in 40 years to tell this story.

Co-curated by Emma Cormack (BGC MA ’18), Associate Curator, Bard Graduate Center; Ilona Kos, Curator, Textilmuseum St. Gallen; and Michele Majer, Assistant Professor, Bard Graduate Center. Threads of Power: Lace from the Textilmuseum St. Gallen is organized by Bard Graduate Center and the Textilmuseum St. Gallen.

Generous support for Threads of Power: Lace from the Textilmuseum St. Gallen has been provided by the Coby Foundation with additional support from the Zurich Silk Association, Lenore G. Tawney Foundation, Consulate General of Switzerland in New York, Switzerland Tourism, Forster Rohner AG, Tobias Forster, AKRIS, and other donors to Bard Graduate Center.

This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Special thanks to the Finger Lakes Lace Guild and New England Lace Group.

<p><a href="https://www.bgc.bard.edu/exhibitions/exhibitions/118/threads-of-power"><em>Threads of Power: Lace from the Textilmuseum St. Gallen</em></a> marks the US debut of more than 150 examples of lace from the extensive collection of the Textilmuseum St. Gallen, Switzerland. It traces the development of lace from its sixteenth-century origins to the present—the first large-scale American exhibition in New York in 40 years to tell this story.</p>
<p>Co-curated by Emma Cormack (BGC MA ’18), Associate Curator, Bard Graduate Center; Ilona Kos, Curator, Textilmuseum St. Gallen; and Michele Majer, Assistant Professor, Bard Graduate Center. <em>Threads of Power: Lace from the Textilmuseum St. Gallen</em> is organized by Bard Graduate Center and the Textilmuseum St. Gallen.</p>
