Reclamation

This exhibit investigates early 20th century domestic textile design in Europe and the Jewish-owned textile printing companies in Czech Bohemia and Moravia. Artist Noah Breuer has amassed a rich collection of materials from Carl Breuer and Sons, his family’s former textile printing business founded 1897 in Bohemia. He creates an array of printed works which not only tell his family’s story of persecution and emigration, but also raise questions about labor, authorship and appropriation.
