DESCRIPTION:Matilda McQuaid will be coming to speak at the Modern Design\nH
 istory Seminar on Wednesday\, March 6\, 2013.  Her talk is entitled\n“Text
 ile Variations.” Some of the most innovative and exciting textiles are var
 iations on themes that have been around for centuries.  Focusing on the th
 eme of process and technique\, McQuaid’s talk will present examples of tex
 tiles across different time periods\, cultures\, and geography to show how
  textile making can be a uniting activity and a creative form that disting
 uishes its time\, place\, and maker.  Using examples from Cooper-Hewitt\, 
 National Design Museum’s superb collection of textiles that span 24 centur
 ies\, this talk will offer insight into how the making of textiles creates
  an historic continuum that continues to inspire artists and designers tod
