On Tenterhooks

May 17 @ 9:00 am - August 16 @ 5:00 pm

Free

Tenters and tenterhooks were commonly used as early as the fourteenth century as import- ant elements in the process of weaving woolen fabric. Starting sometime in the eighteenth century, the phrase “on tenterhooks” came to mean “in suspense,” the way a piece of cloth is suspended from tenterhooks on a tenter. In contemporary literary use, it extends metaphorically to express a range of tension, anxiety, excitement, fear, and anticipation of what is yet to come.

Tandem Press’ summer exhibition, On Tenterhooks, asks the viewer to consider what is to come, to acknowledge the moment of anticipation between definitive events, to sit with the unknown and its many possibilities, and to find some grounding amidst the precariousness of it all.
