What happens when craftsmanship and high-tech come together? In ‘Human <3 Machine – 25 Years of TextielLab’, you’ll discover how artists, designers and machines collaborate to create textiles that exceed your expectations.

TextielLab

For 25 years, the TextielLab has been the beating heart of the TextielMuseum: a place where ideas are tested, boundaries are pushed and craftsmanship and technology go hand in hand. In this anniversary exhibition, you can see eleven impressive works created here – each and every one the result of intensive collaboration between artists and weaving specialists. From monumental tapestries to sculptural 3D weavings: this exhibition shows how textiles live, move and innovate.

Creative Process

You won’t just be looking at the end result; you’ll also gain a unique insight into the creative process. Video portraits bring the stories behind the works to life and show how experimentation, daring and collaboration lead to groundbreaking textiles.

Artists

Featuring work by Peter Struycken, Koen Taselaar, Aiko Tezuka, Jan Taminiau, Aleksandra Gaca, Bertjan Pot, Van Eijk & Van der Lubbe, Fransje Gimbrère, Samira Boon, Ursula Wagner and Mae Engelgeer.
