Aldrich Projects | Julia Bland: Woven in the Reeds is the artist’s first solo museum presentation, debuting a monumental tapestry composed of canvas, ropes, linen nets, and fabrics that are dyed, woven, braided, tied, and sewn by hand. Julia Bland: Woven in the Reeds is organized by Caitlin Monachino, Curatorial and Publications Manager, as part of Aldrich Projects, a quarterly series that features one work or a focused body of work by a singular artist on the Museum’s campus.

Julia Bland is a 2024/2025 recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. 

Recent Acquisitions brings together highlights from the museum’s collection, focusing on works acquired in the past two years. The exhibition showcases a range of mediums, including painting, photography, textiles, and sculpture, that emphasizes the Tang’s commitment to emerging artists and interdisciplinary connections.

Julia Bland is included in a group exhibition at Institut suédois in Paris, France.

AbStranded features ten contemporary American artists—Polly Apfelbaum, Paolo Arao, Sanford Biggers, Samantha Bittman, Julia Bland, Rachel B. Hayes, Elana Herzog, Anne Lindberg, Sheila Pepe, and Sarah Zapata—who use fiber-based materials to investigate the complex lineage of abstraction.
