Italiano (Italian)

8 – 19 February 2022
at FortyFiveDownstairs Gallery

Stitching Change has been curated by Tamara Russell and Anna Taylor.

Stitching Change is part of @craftvictoria Craft Contemporary taking place throughout 1-31 October, the festival celebrates community and the shared human impulse to create.

Stitching Change is a new and exciting exhibition highlighting the abundance of local textile artists in Victoria, Australia, and the quality of their work. The exhibition showcases the progressive art form of textiles including work that explores the relationship of textiles to other art disciplines.
Stitching Change takes shifts and changes as its theme, in particular it is centred on the way in which practices have transformed during the COVID-19 pandemic. These shifts may be around changing attitudes, the introduction of new materials and techniques, along with the impact of innovative ideas and evolving technologies.

English version Sono nata a Monza nel 1969 ma cresciuta in provincia di Biella, terra di filati e tessuti. Mi sono occupata lungamente di arte contemporanea, dopo aver trasformato una passione in una professione. Ho curato mostre, progetti espositivi, manifestazioni culturali, cataloghi e blog tematici, collaborando con associazioni, gallerie, istituzioni pubbliche e private. Da qualche anno la mia attenzione è rivolta prevalentemente verso l’arte tessile e la fiber art, linguaggi contemporanei che assecondano un antico e mai sopito interesse per i tappeti ed i tessuti antichi. Su ARTEMORBIDA voglio raccontare la fiber art italiana, con interviste alle artiste ed agli artisti e recensioni degli eventi e delle mostre legate all’arte tessile sul territorio nazionale.
