French

Domaine(s)
  • Tissage (Artisanat)
CONT

(...) la "tapisserie" semble de plus en plus fuir les murs pour envahir l'espace et (...) "l'art textile" s'empare, en outre, de matériaux qui ne le sont point, fer, bois et même vidéo!

OBS

[L'éventail des techniques utilisées] témoigne tout autant de la vitalité d'une recherche que de la nécessité de trouver un autre vocable que "tapisserie": haute et basse lisse, certes, mais aussi nouage, couture, tricot, pompon, colombin, kilim, enroulements, macramé, crochet, broderie, patchwork, filet, découpage, assemblage, rembourrage, etc (...)
