Title: Textiles
Description: This publication examines the referential and analytical qualities of textiles through both contemporary and historical works. The contributions in this book reflect on the complex interplay between the various functions and connotations of textiles - such as the emphasis on their tactile qualities or the artistic value attributed to them - and the attendant conflicts and antagonisms that articulate relations of power and value and of the interaction of artistic processes with their overarching contexts.
Subjects: Textile fabrics in art, Exhibitions, Textile crafts, Textile design
