Intrecci del Novecento: Italian Art Textiles at La Triennale

There's a fascinating exhibition happening at La Triennale di Milano called 'Intrecci del Novecento. Arazzi e tappeti di artisti e manifatture italiane,' curated by Virginia Giuliano and backed by the Centro Studi Moshe Tabibnia. It features over 100 textile artworks from well-known Italian creators like Balla, Severini, and Fontana. The show aims to highlight a lesser-known part of Italian art history and is organized into four chronological sections, starting with the Futurist movement that promoted applied arts in places like Casa Balla and Casa d'Arte Depero. It also covers the rise of decorative arts and manufacturers in the 1950s and 60s, leading to the birth of Fiber Art at the 1962 Lausanne Biennale, transforming textiles into thought-provoking sculptures.
