Description Fibers, clogs, fabrics, (Thoughts are thin threads) Karina Al-Mukhtarová, Alžběta Bačíková & Lucie Rosenfeldová & Martina Smutná, Aneta Dvorakova, František Filipi, Jaroslav Frajová, Ajit Chauhan, Petr Kovář, Daniela Mikulášková, Tatiana Nikulina, Francis de Nim, Blanka Poulová, Hanna Rose Shell, Ondřej Trnka, Lucie Vitkova and students of the Secondary School of Applied Arts Jihlava-Helenín. The subtitle of the exhibition comes from the text of Daniela Mikulášková for seven years in threads: "I think in seven years. How: Thoughts are thin threads that create an image field one after the other. To do this, you need to slow down your breath and almost turn off the brain. I mean, try to stop the flow of thoughts, the inner continuous speech, the desire, the craving, the pondering of the evaluation, or at least trying to silence. Threads, their thickness, thinness, color, together give an endless variety of possibilities. Moving the hand the mind produces a thread of filament after the fiber image. "The text poetically suggests the relationship between material and non-physical, between physical shaping of the subject and thought. Textile fiber is the link of an exhibition that tries to grasp textiles in a wide field of links. Working on the interface between material tactility and its "textuality", meaning context, creates creative tension. The distinctive motif is also the interface between handicraft and arts, the return to manual work, as well as the delimitation of factory production and the associated overproduction of textile waste. Traditionally, weaving and working with textiles is perceived as "female work," which is another significant aspect to which authors (and some authors) refer.
