Is it woven, like a normal rug? Also, that face (or faces) in the center top are terrifying.

Faig Ahmed! I had no idea one of his pieces was there, can’t wait to check it out.

I have a picture of this on my phone right now. Awesome museum I didn’t even know was there.

I had no idea either until I walked into the gallery and was totally gobsmacked. Never ever expected to see one of his designs in person, esp in NH.

Same as a regular Persian rug, it’s knotted wool yarn. The textiles are made by craftsmen and -women in the artist’s native Azerbaijan.

News ain't talking about all these psychedelics. Lucy is so networked that it's basically in the drinking water

Currier museum is an interesting place. I went a couple years ago but it'd be cool to go back

These "Just Stop Oil" protesters are going too far, first they threw soup at Van Gogh's Flowers painting, and now they melted a carpet off of a wall. /s

It's clever, it's novel but it's not art. This junk was popular about ten or twenty years ago, it was meh then. If you're really interested in this technique you can find it on YouTube. Anyone can do this. It's called acrylic pour painting.

Nothing is paint here… it is all knotted
New-Vegetable-1274 t1_ix66mpq wrote
Ok, still not art, crafts maybe, not art.

It's gimmicky, but I wouldn't exactly engage in gatekeeping about it. Artists have to eat, and this crap sells.

I saw this piece in person months back and I was in awe
