Welcome! Here’s where we publish texts on making, experiencing, touching and thinking about textiles and all things textile related – textiles in art, textiles around art, textiles as art.
Woven Landscapesby Julianne Cordray
A woven text about woven bodies, written in response to a collaborative body of work by Larisa Crunţeanu and Sonja Hornung, which was exhibited in “to slip, to slide, to glitch” at alpha nova galerie futura, Berlin from June 3 – July 12, 2024. Their work and research take (post-)mining landscapes in Lusatia in East Germany and the Apuseni Mountains in Romania as a point of departure.
