In speaking with people who had the opportunity to see it there was outrage for the lack of tradition as well as excitement at seeing a new art form as it was emerging from studios in Europe and elsewhere in the world. While this show at the time did not receive the critical attention it should have fibreQUARTERLY hopes that by introducing it to a new audience while reminding the original of the exhibition a new in site can be gained.
