What is Valcellina Award?

The Valcellina Award – at its 11th edition in 2019 – is the International Contemporary Textile/Fiber Art Competition, open to fiber artists under 35 years of age.
The Valcellina Award was established with the aims of stimulating curiosity in young artists about contemporary textile arts, fostering new talent, encouraging new artistic research and experimentation.
The past ten editions of the competition have seen the participation of artists from all around the world from a wide range of cultures, practises and education, making the Valcellina Award a space for learning, sharing experiences and ideas.
The Valcellina Award is the most important event organised by Le Arti Tessili, which was founded in 1987 for the social promotion of cultural activities.

Despite being different worlds, art, design, innovative research and industry share the ability to investigate reality and experiment with expressive forms, interpretative models and solutions that suggest an idea of the future. An extraordinary opportunity to establish connections and synergies is given by the fight against climate change and in particular by the circular economy, a new way of conceiving and realizing production and consumption, destined not only to outline innovative business models and ways of transforming available resources, but to affect lifestyles and collective consciousness.
We’ll talk about it in Milan, next June 15th …

RASSEGNA BIENNALE DI FIBER ART Spoleto#Conoscere
8 dicembre 2018 – 16 gennaio 2019

COMUNICATO STAMPA
Sabato 8 dicembre si inaugura a Spoleto la prima edizione della Rassegna Biennale di Fiber Art,
ideata ed organizzata dalla Officina d’Arte&Tessuti e curata da M. Giuseppina Caldarola e Margherita Labbe.
Si inizia alle 12 a Palazzo Collicola, dove sarà presentata la manifestazione, per poi spostarsi al Museo del Costume e del Tessuto ed alla galleria Officina d’Arte&Tessuti.
Tre spazi, tre momenti differenti per prendere visione di quanto la Rassegna propone, a partire dai due pilastri sui quali si articola: l’uno consiste in un panorama, naturalmente non esaustivo, ma
significativo, di quanto è presente nel mondo della Fiber Art; l’altro si focalizza sulla Ricerca

Back Verona Tessile, the international event that transforms the city of Verona into a sort of widespread museum of textile art.

The event, now in its fifth edition, is designed by the Cultural Association Ad Maiora, in collaboration with the City of Verona, and will take place from 25 to 28 April 2019 in museums, churches and in the most beautiful and evocative places of the historic center .

Atarashii: textile origami, the textile art exhibition organized by the “Trame” Biellesi Association, will be inaugurated on Thursday 17 January at 5.30 pm in Città Studi. The installation, in view until March 2, shows, suspended as flags or dropped as coats of arms on the windows of the library corridor, some quilts and blankets made with the Japanese technique called Atarashii (新 し い = new) which consists of folding cloth handkerchiefs instead of the card.

Come alla fine dello scorso secolo il giapponismo era deflagrato in tutta Europa, influenzando una parte significativa della produzione artistica, così all’inizio del Novecento il gusto occidentale esplode in Giappone. E questa ventata di novità investe anche il capo-simbolo della tradizione: il kimono. Ai motivi classici si affiancano disegni dunque colorati che richiamano il Cubismo, il Futurismo e altre correnti artistiche europee. Ecco il senso della mostra intitolata Occidentalismo – Modernità e arte occidentale nei kimono, dal 21 novembre al 17 marzo 2019 nel Museo della Moda e delle Arti Applicate a Borgo Castello, Gorizia.

La XXVIII edizione della mostra internazionale di Fiber Art si è conclusa con l’anticipazione del tema 2019: “POP UP”.
