Gerhardt Knodel has always been quick to question “What if?” What potential exists in the space between traditional textiles, art, architecture and theater? This lecture offers some insights into his inventions for architectural space, gallery installations and intimate artwork, with reflections on his relationship with textiles of the past that bridge to his place in time, and a special focus on new work in exhibition at American University in Washington, DC, entitled Let The Games Begin!
