Weaving exhibition | TOILES DE MAÎTRES
Overview
Intro
The Toiles de Maîtres exhibition will run from May 13 to 25 at Le Nouveau Vallon in Chêne-Bougeries, featuring the creations of some fifteen weavers... all in canvas, of course!
Threads and materials to reinvent the art of canvas
At Espace Nouveau Vallon, the Toiles de Maîtres exhibition brings together various weaving artists invited by the De Fil en Fil and Romantiss' associations. Their work is based on the canvas weave, explored in all its forms, combining technical research and contemporary works. The works on display hijack the concept of "canvas", reinterpreting it in a textile context. Each artist reveals a unique interpretation, playing with materials such as natural fibers, recycled materials or metal wires. The creations, both utilitarian and sculptural, question the gestures of weaving and its evolution. The exhibition also highlights Tissu Social, a collective work created with 300 participants, which fuses individual journeys and societal perspectives; a tangible way of linking matter, creation and reflection. They work on the canvas weave, explored from different perspectives, oscillating between technical research and contemporary creations.
The works on display reinterpret the concept of "canvas" by relating it to textiles. Each artist reveals a unique approach, manipulating natural fibers, recycled materials or metal wires. The pieces, sometimes functional, sometimes artistic, question the gestures of weaving and its development.
The exhibition also features Tissu Social, a collective production involving 300 participants, giving rise to a work where individual trajectories and visions of society meet; a tangible way of linking matter, creation and reflection.
