Textiles are positioned close to the body but expand outwards to occupy civic space; they connect to human subjectivity through clothing and gesture, to the expression of political ideas in flags and banners, to the built environment in relation to architecture, and to the economy through processes of production and the movement of trade. Although situated on the margins, textiles have also been linked to genealogies of art history for example through royal tapestries, feminist movements such as fibre art and Modernist aesthetic as they have been applied to textile design. With a conceptual rather than medium specific focus, this exhibition features different kinds of work including sculpture, installation, tapestry, books, banners, photography and film. It responds to the artistic as well as economic importance of textiles in Flanders which goes back to the Middle-Ages and draws on local knowledge in the production of several new commissions. Contemporary and historical works from Belgium, Brazil, Germany, India, Mali, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States also demonstrate the international dimension of both the exhibition and the aesthetic and political questions associated with the textile medium.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","name":"Textiles — Kunst en het sociale weefsel","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e*TEXTILES Kunst en het sociale weefsel* toont kunstenaars die textiel als materiaal of textiel gerelateerde concepten gebruiken. Daarmee spelen ze in op het potentieel van dit medium om uitdrukking te geven aan complexe lagen van sociale betekenis en het politieke aan te kaarten zoals het zich manifesteert in verschijnselen als arbeid, cultuur, identiteit, protest en presentatie. Textiel zit dicht op het lichaam, maar is tegelijkertijd ook naar buiten gericht en heeft een plaats in de publieke ruimte; het heeft een link met menselijke subjectiviteit via kleding en gebaren, maar ook met het uiten van politieke ideeën via vlaggen en banners, met de bebouwde omgeving in zijn relatie met de architectuur en met de economie via productieprocessen en handelsroutes. Hoewel het zich in de rand afspeelt, houdt textiel ook verband met de kunstgeschiedenis, bijvoorbeeld in koninklijke wandtapijten, in feministische bewegingen zoals fibre art en in de modernistische esthetiek zoals ze bij textielontwerp toegepast werd. Met een conceptuele eerder dan een mediumspecifieke blik bevat deze tentoonstelling verschillende soorten werk zoals beeldhouwkunst, installatiekunst, tapijten, boeken, banners, fotografie en film. De tentoonstelling gaat zowel op het artistieke als op het economische belang in van textiel in Vlaanderen, dat teruggaat tot in de middeleeuwen, en maakt gebruik van lokale knowhow voor het produceren van een aantal nieuwe werken. Hedendaagse en historische werken uit België, Brazilië, Duitsland, India, Mali, Nederland, Zweden, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en de Verenigde Staten tonen de internationale dimensie van zowel de tentoonstelling als van de esthetische en politieke vraagstukken die geassocieerd worden met het medium textiel.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"fr","name":"Textiles — L’art et le tissu social","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e*L’Art du TEXTILE et le tissu social* est une exposition d’artistes qui font usage de matières textiles ou de concepts connexes, se servent du potentiel de ce média pour véhiculer les diverses significations sociales complexes qu’il recèle, et pour se pencher sur ses aspects politiques tels qu’ils se manifestent dans le travail, la culture, l’identité, la contestation et la présentation. Le plus souvent conçu pour envelopper le corps, les textiles s’étendant au-delà pour occuper l’espace civil; ils se rattachent à la subjectivité humaine par le biais du vêtement et de la gestuelle, à l’expression d’idées politiques à travers des bannières et des banderoles, à la construction d’un environnement relatif à l’architecture, et à l’économie par le canal de modes de production et de mouvements commerciaux. Bien qu’en marge, les textiles sont ancrés dans l’histoire de l’art, par exemple, à travers les tapisseries royales, les mouvements féministes comme le fibre art et l’esthétique moderniste telle qu’elle fut appliquée à la conception de motifs pour textiles. Avec un angle de vue plutôt conceptuel que focalisé sur le média, l’exposition présente différents types d’œuvres, incluant la sculpture, l’installation, la tapisserie, le livre, la bannière, la photographie et le film. Elle reflète l’importance tant économique qu’artistique du textile en Flandre, qui remonte au Moyen-Âge, et s’appuie sur le savoir-faire local pour la production de plusieurs nouvelles commandes.
