Looking at the materiality, making and marketing of her kaleidoscopic output, this show presents an innovator who transcended conventional artistic boundaries. Above, is her 1975 tapestr y Rythmes couleurs ou Panneau F 1898. i t z S ko p l a H y b y r t, p h o t o Ao f M u s e u m l i t a n M e t r o p o T h e © i G a v o g s k P h o t o: B o z h o Weaving Abstraction in Ancient and Modern Art Until 16 June The Met, New York, USA www.metmuseum.org Two extraordinary bodies of textile work, separated by at least 500 years, make connections between art of the ancient Andes and work by four 20th-century artists—Anni Albers, Sheila Hicks, Lenore Tawney and Olga de Amaral—all of whom developed innovative approaches to weaving through the study of Andean techniques. The exhibition offers new insights into the emergence of abstract imagery.

Consciousness in Flux by Faig Ahmed Until 1 August Maraya Art Centre, Al Qasba, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates maraya.ae A new commission by Faig Ahmed connects neuroscience and art.
