HOMAGE TO NIKI DE SAINT PHALLE
Curated by Associazione Sul filo dell'Arte
Sponsor: Generalfix
What happens when crochet meets art? You can see it in this exhibition dedicated to the French artist Niki De Saint Phalle.
Here in Italy, we can admire some of her works inspired by the figures of the major arcana of tarot in the Tarot Garden in Capalbio. However, her most well-known creations are "Les Nanas": large and colorful female sculptures with a somewhat grotesque shape.
Sul Filo dell'Arte will present to Abilmente an interpretation of "Les Nanas" with vibrant knitted and crocheted works. Additionally, with the help of other creative minds, they will showcase a tarot exhibition employing diverse textile techniques that will literally amaze you.
DIVERSITY
Curated by EQA
"Threads Without Borders" is the theme of this extraordinary collective patchwork exhibition: it tells a story of creativity that unites artisans across Europe and celebrates unity beyond borders and differences. 19 talented international quilters each present two pieces, giving life to a new narrative around an essential material for their creations, their lives, and their dreams: thread. The quilts showcase freedom and a personal, modern approach in various patchwork and quilting techniques, while maintaining an authentic connection to ancient local traditions. An engaging tale of history, innovation, and unity!
MODULOPOLI
Welcome to MODULOPOLI, the modular metropolitan city designed by artist Federico Marcoaldi and constructed by a collective of 100 artists and 100 children!
In MODULOPOLI, the urban environment is reimagined as a combination of unique modules that come together in a captivating collective puzzle. Each module, whether representing a building, block, or neighborhood, finds its place in this mosaic of diversity.
All modules have been crafted using reclaimed materials, such as cardboard boxes destined for the landfill: artists and children, during educational workshops, brought to life, module by module, a metropolitan city built through collective creativity.
Come to Abilmente and explore this magical city made of modules, colors, and imagination!
