Kaufmann Repetto presenta 'Re-materialized': arte tessile a Milano e New York

Kaufmann Repetto gallery is showcasing 'Re-materialized: The Stuff That Matters,' curated by Astrid Welter, simultaneously in Milan and New York. The exhibition features works from artists like Françoise Grossen, Maja Bajevic, Pae White, Jeffrey Gibson, Maria Lai, and Leda Catunda. This event is part of the gallery's initiative to explore textiles as a means of expressing cultural, socio-economic, and political identities. The title pays tribute to Lucy Lippard and Seth Siegelaub, playfully referencing Lippard's 1968 essay 'The Dematerialization of Art' and Siegelaub's textile research. Among the highlights, Bajevic showcases 'Dressed up' (1999), a dress made from a map of the former Yugoslavia, worn during the opening alongside a video. The exhibition addresses the need for tactile experiences in our digital age, emphasizing materiality and craftsmanship in contemporary art.
