06/05/2015
“Let’s have
lunch! Art has to be converted into food to be offered in a public dining hall”.
This is the
main topic of Miniartextil 25th edition, the international
contemporary textile art exhibition
taking place in few days, that’s to say from May 9th to June 21st 2015 at Ex Chiesa di San Francesco (Como),
Villa Bernasconi (Cernobbio) and Auditorium Testori’s foyer (Milano).
The
exhibition has been organized by Arte&Arte cultural organization and it
proposes the best international artistic production in the Textile Art or Fiber
Art field, that branch of contemporary art that retraces old basic technical
principles thus revolutionizing schemes
and materials.
The project
is aimed at promoting and fostering Italian tourism thus sponsoring some historical-architectural works of
art to be commended with contemporary art installations; also the organization
gives the opportunity of discovering Como Lake onboard a private boat.
In order to
celebrate the 25th anniversary of Miniartextil, 25 are the countries
proposing 54 mini textiles (small format
works 20x20x20 cm), plus, over 70 international artists and 7.000 expected
visitors will attend in this huge and
attractive event organized in conjunction with the extraordinary EXPO 2015 exhibition.
