Annie Bascoul's 'En quête de beauté' Blends Lace with 3D Printing in Clermont-Ferrand

Annie Bascoul's exhibition, 'En quête de beauté,' will be showcased at Clermont-Ferrand's art centre from June 19 to September 20, 2026. Bascoul integrates lace, textiles, sculpture, and technology, claiming that innovation enriches traditional craftsmanship. Her artistic evolution began with sewing, transitioning from textile bases to intricate three-dimensional lace, which she reimagines into architectural and furniture designs. By fusing handcraft techniques with video, 3D printing, and laser cutting, she broadens the scope of conventional methods. Visitors will experience a journey starting in a garden adorned with knitted columns and sculptural dresses, leading to an interior where lace acts as both partitions and furniture, all within a predominantly white space that highlights the dance of light and shadow, showcasing the harmony between tradition and contemporary artistry.
