Thank you for this video! I was very surprised and happy to see a reference to Kubler's book, The Shape of Time", which I had been impressed by when I read it many years ago. As well, Anni Albers' comments on art, materials, process and meaning struck many chords in me, as an artist working with colour, within a grid and mathematic principles.

Interesting but a very dry presentation, befitting Albers. I wonder if her textiles would have been as much appreciated if she had not worked in the right places and written a lot about her work. Her wirding seems to surpass by far the sensitivity of her weaving. There are many textiles in the 20th cent. Both industrial and hand woven that show a much deeper understanding of and feel for the materials. At the end of the video the sounds of the reconstructed loom tell it all. Albers seems to have developed a badly sounding loom taking industrial looms as examples. How much better do my older handlooms sound and how much smoother they work. Years ago I had the opportunity to see Bauhaus samples at MOMA. To the textile person I am they seemed like prototypes awaiting a more sensitive approach for the final product.
