Catalogue of collective Tissue by Francesca Baboni, within the review C9 - Art in court in September, 20 September – 26 October 2014.
The combination of "art-tissue" has always been an object of fascination within the contemporary scene and saw, by numerous artists, declared and not of fame, the choice in the years to tie the textile to a social or anthropological, if not sometimes political, as seen by the poor recovery of materials from the sixties, Textile and Fiber Art ART linked to the feminism of the seventies, up to the new demands of the twenty-first century, based on a more intimate conception. As he writes Marina Giordano in his recent essay in which he analyzes the relationship between contemporary art and artifact: "The thread has in it the magic power of the story, the energy of a ritual mantra, challenge the heaviness of matter and the laws of space ". The act dell'annodare wires has great power to act therefore as a metaphorical threshold between our world and a possible elsewhere, helps to enhance an experience that battles, traditions and claims of gender riannodandolo and bringing to light.
For this reason the use of the plot instead of the brush has had a sometimes painful since he left surfacing hidden parts of themselves and their intimacy, linked to a "doing" meticulous and patient, that is not dispensed with a manual prudent and timely. The artists tell their micro through the tissue, which becomes food for the journey to go from one dimension to a particular universal, atavistic fears to exorcise or to recall memories, now or network security and web that traps in a predetermined role often linked to the domestic.
