Some pictures from the Tilburg Textile museum;
if you still want to see the Minä Perhonen exhibition,
tomorrow is the last day!
I'm sorry I can't show you any photos from the work,
it was not allowed to make photographs, too bad :(
I found some photos from the exhibition here.
Loved the small textiles against the walls.
look here.
The amazing exhibition space was designed by
Dorell.Ghotmeh.Tane/architects.
and
pour finir...
a nice quote from Italo Calvino:
'I would say that the moment an object appears in a
narrative, it is charged with a special force and becomes
like the pole of a magnetic field, a knot in the framework
of invisible relationships. We might say that in a narrative
any object is always magic'
(found in the catalogue:)
But what are the second and fourth photos of?
ReplyDeleteLovely textile samples, I coupld look at them all morning- I will mark and look again later-
Thank you for this link, its very exciting-
Have a lovely weekend,
Annamaria xx
the museum contains a big collection of old looms and other devices. The second pic was made in the TextielLab, a sort of working place for students, artists and designers.
ReplyDeletethey also dye their own fibres, what you see is a sample card
The museum is BIG!!! it used to be a weaving mill, they got a steam engine too.
Mina Perhonen, she is interesting. UGUISU has magazines about her on her website. http://uguisu.ocnk.net/product/239
ReplyDeletewow, so wish i could have seen this!
ReplyDeleteOh, die tentoonstelling en die kleren zijn zoooo mooi!
ReplyDeleteI just love Minä Perhonen... The designs are so beautiful but it's the fabric design that is so exquisite especially. I always thought Minä Perhonen was a woman but now that I read the link you provided I'm amazed to discover he's a man!... and that he was born the same year as me :)) I would have loved to see this exhibition. So glad that you did Renilde, and thanks for posting about it. K x
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention... the Italo Calvino quote is just sublime :) I love his books. I keep them by my bedside for when I need a top-up ;) Kx
ReplyDeletehe is a man but he has a female textile designer working with him and many many female staff.
ReplyDeleteToo far from San Francisco but thanks for posting! I especially love the first yellow image - I am super obsessed with yellow come spring!
