My first exhibition at the TextielMuseum in Tilburg is ‘Common Threads | Old and new stories in art and design’ (14 March 2020 - 13 June 2021).
Few things are as human as telling stories. The exhibition ‘Common Threads | Old and new stories in art and design’ explores how artists and designers shape narratives and ideas. Presenting personal and cultural perspectives, ‘Common Threads’ also shows how our world and our identities are made up of multiple stories.
The exhibition features works from the museum’s collection organised around themes such as religion and spirituality, gender and sexuality, and children’s stories and fantasies. Alongside contemporary pieces, the exhibition presents works covering a period of around 200 years – from myths and biblical stories to current, personal tales.
With works by: Eylem Aladogan, Mercedes Azpilicueta, Christiaan Bastiaans, Walter van Beirendonck, Célio Braga, Studio Formafantasma, Jaime Hayon, Hella Jongerius, Susanne Khalil Yusef, Kustaa Saksi, Jennifer Tee, Anna Verwey-Verschuure, Roy Villevoye and others.
