5/10/2019 – 15/03/2020 Lodz, Polonia

The International Tapestry Triennial, the oldest and the most important presentation of phenomena connected with the medium of textiles, in 2019 will take place for the 16th time. It’s a good moment to refresh the format and to give the forthcoming Triennial an open character. It will allow us to get a closer look at textiles in a broader context. The previous system, proven and fully functional in a period of lesser freedom of information flow, was fully justified. The principle assuming work of commissioners from different countries, who recommended artists fit to participate in the event, was dictated by the specifics of that time and significantly facilitated the accomplishment of subsequent editions of the Triennial. However, in the era of full freedom and ease of information circulation we want to get in touch directly with artists expressing the desire to take part in the feast of textiles, which will take part next year in Łódź. We will enrich the formula, creating a possibility of imparting a well-thought-out and consistent character to the whole presentation. For the first time in the history of the meetings in Łódź, the Triennial will be provided with curatorial care. Marta Kowalewska, who undertook this task, has prepared a number of important displays centered around the art of textiles, and has been researching the history and context of artistic textiles as well as analyzing an popularizing the accomplishments of Polish authors on that front.
