LBBW Collection with „Social Fabric” at art KARLSRUHE 2023

At this year’s art KARLSRUHE the LBBW Collection is showing “Social Fabric” - a selection of textile-based art. Textiles and artistic creation are interwoven with a long pictorial tradition and reception history. The weaving workshop at the German Bauhaus is considered the nucleus of textile art in the classical modern period. However, during the second half of the 20th century, the use of textile in art experienced a revival, although with a different approach. From May 4 to 7 at booth U5 in hall 1, visitors can explore a selection of works that are dealing with identity(ies), cultural imprint, social norms, and consumption behavior patterns. Participating artists are Nevin Aladağ, Mona Ardeleanu, Shannon Bool, Anna Grath, Thomas Grünfeld, Jörg Sasse, Wiebke Siem and Rosemarie Trockel, among others.
