The Work That Textile Does
The temporary exhibition at the Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź presents its collection of the artistic textiles – the historical and the contemporary, initiating dialogue on textiles, work and effort across geographies, mediums and generations – from craft to conceptual art. Set in the post-industrial space, it invites reflection on the labour of textile-making, the relationship between conceptual work and practice, and the role of textiles as art pieces and functional objects. The exhibition is part of the project “Interweaving Structures: Fabric as Material, Method and Message”, run by the Central Museum of Textiles in Łódź, the Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design at the University of Bergen, and the Doctoral School of the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. “The Work That Textile Does” exhibition is open until July 27.
