Logan Fry '66 Has Piece in Dutch Textile Show

JUNE 14, 2000--A textile-arts festival in the Netherlands, Textiel Festival 2000, has chosen a work woven by Oberlin alumnus W. Logan Fry for its gallery exhibition. The gallery is also on line. Fry's Gina is one of 46 works chosen from a field of 169, submitted by artists in 16 countries. The exhibition, Bye Bye, observes "the coming of the millennium, tradition in fiber art, and the future," says Fry.
In keeping with the theme, Fry depicted a seated young woman waving and exclaiming, "Bye bye." He based the weaving on a drawing of an Akron-area cabaret dancer, translated the image onto a paper grid, and executed the image in woolen doubleweave.
Gina departs from Fry's other recent work, which uses imagery of computer chips, biosensors, MRI brain scans, and computer machine language.
Textiel Festival 2000 opened in Zwolle March 15 and tours the other Dutch cities of Haarlem, Breda, Enshede, and Roermond.
Fry has exhibited work throughout the United States as well as in Hungary, Russia, and the Ukraine. His weavings are included in the collections of the National Museum of American Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
