Abstract Exhibition display has a considerable impact on the public’s understanding of and respect for textiles. This article revisits 13 exhibitions held between 2005 and 2018, many of which I have previously written about in exhibition reviews, that offer innovative and thoughtful installation solutions. The examples I have selected for discussion include both textile design and textile art – genres that share a common material but pose specific exhibition challenges. Rather than focus on curation, this article attends to the seemingly pedestrian decisions of exhibition installation. Examples are organized into three groups: bolts of cloth considers the display of lengths and samples predominantly of printed textiles; the bed and the wall focuses on pieced textiles displayed on these two distinct surfaces; the final group of examples gathers together works where integrated installation solutions are solved, and often even named, as aspects of the artwork. My intention in gathering together these admittedly eclectic examples is to inspire greater consideration of the impact display decisions have on the public’s appreciation and respect for textiles.

软盘布：白立方内的纺织展策略

摘要 展览展示对公众对纺织品的理解和尊重产生了相当大的影响。本文回顾了 2005 年至 2018 年期间举办的 13 个展览，其中许多展览我之前在展览评论中写过，它们提供了创新和周到的安装解决方案。我选择讨论的例子包括纺织品设计和纺织品艺术——这些流派共享共同的材料，但带来了特定的展览挑战。这篇文章没有关注策展，而是关注展览装置的看似行人的决定。示例分为三组：布块考虑长度和样品的展示，主要是印花纺织品；床和墙的重点是展示在这两个不同表面上的拼接纺织品；最后一组示例汇集了解决集成安装解决方案的作品，甚至经常命名为艺术品的各个方面。我将这些公认的不拘一格的例子汇集在一起​​的意图是激发人们更多地考虑展示决定对公众对纺织品的欣赏和尊重的影响。
