youIn the oldest art of mankind, the processing of fabrics, the painting of cave walls and the carving of bones compete with each other. If people think that heating and sewing leather is a practical necessity, then textile art should prevail. Obviously, “textile” always mainly means a certain technology; only then will the important types follow.
This is exactly what the Dutch artist thinks Hella Jongerius: Your exhibition “Cosmos weave” in Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin connects the light-year-long line between human stone age diapers, cutting off the image of the “lifeline” and the possible future in space, especially because The artist is always thinking about this issue, and after her artistic creation, she raised the issue of the benefit to everyone and the industrial applicability of her ideas in fairer production and overall more sustainable life. For example, she is currently experimenting with weaving bacteria and solar panels. They are no longer rigid panels and take up space. They occasionally get dirty like tin soldiers in a solar park, but they can cling to any surface with a textile structure, even as an artist. As I joked in an interview, this is an amorphous building, just like Frank O. Gehrys Guggenheim Bilbao. Or, as a photovoltaic strip combined with other load-bearing materials to create a balcony that unfolds like a flower blooming at sunrise.
This hopeful future has always existed in the art of textile: Leonian Joseph-Marie Jacquard’s jacquard loom and his punch card are an ingenious machine, and computer pre-forming is well known, let alone Paul Otlet’s ” The idea of ”Mundaneum” The global network at the beginning of the twentieth century came from the textile world. Since the 1980s, whenever the “space shuttle” sends a large number of people into space, the “loom” has literally passed through heaven’s textile tents.If Star Trek The infinite expansion of the universe is shortened by “curving speed” through space folding, and then it acts as a “curve” (just through, The favorite word of artist Jongerius), it forms the basic vertical structure of everything Weft Because the thread of latitude penetrates the physical lattice of the ether.
Heavenly cloth and net
In the “cosmic loom”, the “cosmic loom”, like an oversized shaman dream chaser, is arranged according to the day of the week and hangs along a high wall in the hall. Jongerius’s “windows” are condensed The form of your thoughts: Like them, 3D printers that are now able to draw entire houses and cars, once again messed up the colorful warp and weft crazily. There is another layer behind each layer of fabric, but each layer forms a window to the next layer. If viewed from a distance, Hella Jongerius’s dozen “windows” look like plastic and enclosed architectural forms, then sometimes closer and sometimes tighter structures will break down into pixels as you approach.
