Abstract

We are on the cusp of a revolution, where the intersection of technology, the human body and everyday objects will become completely seamless. Smart textiles are a key part of this revolution. Smart Textiles for Designers introduces the different qualities and properties that can be embedded in, integrated with, and applied to fabrics and looks at the different contexts in which these smart textiles can be used, from healthcare to haute couture, firefighting to sportswear. A survey of specific fabrics grouped by properties provides a core reference section and a palette for the designer to work from. The book also examines five different design approaches and features interviews with leading designers and design teams, showing their processes and working methods. The first book to look at this exciting and quickly developing area of technology through the eyes of a designer, this is both a core reference work and an inspirational guide for students and professionals alike.

Abstract

Textiles in reality such as tarpaulin on scaffoldings, car or motorbike cover, or protection water-resistant are familiar objects which are used in daily life. By looking at them and talking about the possibilities of experiencing them through urban environment or ordinary architecture, they reveal an extra layer to the landscape. These covers are used as a protection, as a signaling device, as a camouflage. They have a specific purpose, a functionality. It is used to protect from debris when it is used for scaffold. It is used to protect from the birds when it is used on vineyards, for instance. In this text, I developed several entries through functionality, tactility, materiality and sensory perceptions. I show how these covers are disturbing the reality by redefining landscape and finding themselves as a kind of embellishment in a temporary architecture. How they reveal new forms of the part that is hidden and become together a strange combination. Finally, how this assemblage can become a poetic and surrealist creature.

Abstract

The catalogue that accompanies the exhibition Re-enchanting the World by Małgorzata Mirga-Tas in the Polish Pavilion at the 59th International Art Exhibition (the first time that a Roma artist is representing a national pavilion in the over-120-year history of the Venice Biennale): an attempt to expand the Polish and European iconosphere and art history with representations of Roma culture. Re-enchanting the World is a publication accompanying Małgorzata Mirga-Tas’s exhibition of the same name, shown in the Polish pavilion at the 59th Venice Biennale. The exhibit is Mirga-Tas’s manifesto on Roma identity and art, drawing inspiration from the Renaissance frescoes of the Palazzo Schifanoia in Ferrara and thus attempting to expand the European iconosphere and history of art with representations of Roma culture.The title of the project and this book is inspired by Silvia Federici’s book Re-enchanting the World: Feminism and the Politics of the Commons (2018), in which re-enchanting—a non-violent process in which women play an important role—reverses the unfortunate fate of the world, shaking off its evil spell. This publication presents Mirga-Tas’s re-enchanting of the world as a way of recovering the idea of the Roma community, with consideration to transnationality, cyclicity and the evolution of meanings, proposing a new narrative about the continuous cultural migration of images and mutual influences between Roma, Polish and European cultures.Within the multidirectional texts featuring poetry, prose and essays, as well as images of Mirga-Tas’s project and its process, we witness her re-enchantment of the world through a re-examination of identity, a recognition of feminine power, and a re-presentation of historical and contemporary visual narratives.

Abstract

Anne Masson & Eric Chevalier associent leurs démarches depuis une dizaine d'années. Tous deux praticiens du textile, ils en interrogent la conception à travers une approche expérimentale de la matière, sans a priori sur les résultats.0Mus par une spontanéité et un plaisir de faire, ils abordent le textile dans différents contextes, en tant que medium lié à des enjeux culturels, intimes et collectifs, fonctionnels et réjouissants. S'appropriant avec liberté et précision différentes techniques, ils saisissent ce que la matière véhicule d'éphémère et fragile, de familier ou mystérieux, de drôle et réconfortant.0L'exposition veut éclairer l'esprit organique, mobile et élastique du travail. Car les processus investis ne sont fondamentalement jamais arrêtés mais susceptibles d'être variablement activés et colorés selon les circonstances. L'exposition présentera aussi la pratique collaborative et interdisciplinaire engagée depuis quelques années avec des architectes, designers ou chorégraphes. Autant de projets qui élargissent l'horizon de leur travail et interrogent différents statuts et dimensions du tissu. 0Exhibition: CID Grand Hornu, Hornu, Belgium (04.10.2015-10.01.2016).

Abstract

In 1940, Hans Knoll founded a company in New York that soon earned a reputation for its progressive line of furniture. Florence Schust joined the firm and helped establish its interior design division, the Knoll Planning Unit. In 1947, the year after their marriage, Hans and Florence Knoll added a third division, Knoll Textiles, which brought textile production in line with a modern sensibility that used color and texture as primary design elements. In the early years, the company hired leading proponents of modern design as well as young, untried designers to create textile patterns. The division thrived in the late 1940s through 1960s and, in the following decade, adopted a more international outlook as design direction shifted to Europe. In the late 1970s and 1980s, Knoll tapped fashion designers and architects to bolster its brand. The pioneering use of new materials and a commitment to innovative design have remained Knoll's hallmarks to the present day. With essays by experts, biographies of about eighty designers, and images of textiles, drawings, furniture, and ephemera, Knoll Textiles, 1945-2010 is the first comprehensive study devoted to a leading contributor to modern textile design. Highlighting the individuals and ideas that helped shape Knoll Textiles over the years, this book brings the Knoll brand and the role of textiles in the history of design to the forefront of public attention.

Abstract

Showcasing over 80 international artists who incorporate embroidery into their practice, this book provides a survey of embroidery in contemporary art, illustrating the huge range of ways in which the craft has been embraced as a form of creative expression. Some artists evoke a kind of nostalgia, rediscovering skills that have fallen from fashion or promoting the value of ancient handicrafts in an industrialized world of mass-production. Others push boundaries by using embroidery on photographs, poetic installations, embroidered reproductions of everyday objects, or by using it to tackle political, personal or transgressive themes. 'Threads' is a captivating exploration of their creative journeys, their influences, the technical challenges they face and the message they wish to convey.
