Rijswijk Textile Biennial 2013

Twenty international artists are exhibiting the 'state of the art' from the world of textile art. Their work displays a virtuoso balance between the latest technology and traditional handwork. The combination of tried and tested textile techniques such as weaving, quilting and embroidery with photography, video and digital technology results in a contemporary visual language. Furthermore, what is particularly striking is the strength of engagement with social themes among a number of the exhibitors: a powerful message cloaked in soft textiles. Exhibition: Museum Rijswijk, Rijswijk, The Netherlands (15.06.-27.10.2013).
