TEXTILE ART INTERNATIONAL TRIENNIAL

TexpoART
2nd Edition NOVEMBER 2011
TEXTILE ART INTERNATIONAL EXIBITION

Regulation

A. INTRODUCTION
Initiated in 1999 as a biennial manifestation, Texpoart project evolved naturally throughout its four editions. In 2008, its first international edition, the intention was to align on cymas those creations that artists in the field of textiles considered the most representative for the current stage, without restrictions regarding the topic, materials or transposition techniques. Thus, remained the joy of exposing together in Iai an old center of Romanian culture the works of artists from the most important cities of the country and from other 12 countries: France, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Turkey, China, Japan, Peru. The exhibition impressing by force, fantasy and diversity, included the artworks of 66 artists each with one representative piece exhibited in Cupola and Nicolae Tonitza art galleries, run by the Fine Artists Union of Iai. The infinite hypostases of artistic textiles originate from the playful spirit of the man who finds in fibres those primordial energies, capable of expressing thoughts and feelings. Filtered through the creators personality, ennobled by the craft mystery and the splendour of materials, the textile art works presented in the previously edition of Texpoart triennial proved artistic professionalism and maturity, beyond the originality of stylistic recipes. Following the success of our previous event, remarkably ample, varied and high quality, that became a reference point for the evolution of this type of manifestations organized in Romania, we invite you to participate to the 2nd edition, of the Textile Art International Triennial TexpoArt. The exhibition is run by Romanian Fine Artists Union, the University of Arts George Enescu Iai Research and Creation Centre CreArt. The deadline for the registration is 10 June 2011.
