The artist Anni Albers states that “if the essence of architecture is to be rigid and permanent, then that of textiles is its antithesis.” Through her creation of a body of work that has transformed the conventional understanding of textile art, transcending the notion of a handicraft reserved exclusively for women, Anni Albers has paved the way for a practice that has since been ceaselessly re-interpreted and has elevated itself to the very pinnacle of the visual arts.

This exhibition hosted by Phillips, pays tribute to this medium by bringing together six artists around the subjects of the thread, weaving, waft and warp. Through the choice of weaving as a common denominator rather than textiles themselves, the exhibition reveals the artists’ constant curiosity and their thirst to explore the repetitive act, recycling, performance and intimacy. This exhibition features six artists, who through their complex and diverse practices accompany us on a journey through a suspended instant in the fabric of art.

Artists: Caroline Achaintre, Kenia Almaraz Murillo, Alice Anderson, Désiré Moheb-Zandi, Laurent Nicolas, Moffat Takadiwa.
