In 1982, Kurt curated an exhibit in Sacramento State's Robert Else Gallery of Ikat, weaving of the ancient people of Indonesia. A catalog of the exhibit (collection of Joseph Edmondson and Herbert Solomon) was printed, with an essay by Kurt about the people of Indonesia, their cultural history and the role of ikat in their social and ceremonial life. Examining the "warp" of ancient and modern civilization, Kurt weaves an engaging fabric of his own.
