Mobilier National et Manufactures Mationales - Galerie des Gobelins
An exhibition curated by Francoise Ducros
Mobilier National, les Manufactures Nationales des Gobelins, de Beauvais and de la Savonnerie and the lace workshops of Alencon and Puy are representative of a long history that now positions them on the crossroads of tradition and innovation. The exhibition has a trans-generational focus and will assemble 31 artists from the French scene. The subtle scenography designed by Frederic Ruyant is based "on the establishment of a network of textile strips that will be used and produced in the form of a woven mesh" serving as a metaphorical connection between the works, some of which were especially designed for this event.
