The
1st Contemporary Flax and Linen Biennale enterd in a process of reconquest
of the collective memory and provides us the opportunity to make the
point on the Textile Art of today.
For this exhibition,
great international artists consented to the game of materials, themes
and formats, structuring the presentation of their works in 3 different
places :
|
| |
| Lin-Minuscule
: Linen Museum in Routot |
| |
| In
the linen museum in Routot, the linen in all its states appears MINUSCULE,
a very current tendency, intime and precious that privileges small formats.
Here the linen is matter to create : seed, fibre, cloth, paint, oil, filtre
paper, cigarette paper, bible paper... It is also matter to dream when
it proceeds by evocation, image, puns. |

|
| Lin-MAJUSCULE
:Regional Council of Upper-Normandy in Rouen |
| |
 |
In
the Regional Council of Upper-Normandy, the linen is CAPITAL, banners
and totems of the present time, majestic and huge works, destined for
monumental and public places. |

- TRANSPARENCIES - LIGHT : Notre-Dame du Bec-Hellouin
Abbey |

|
|
 |
In
the Notre-Dame du Bec-Hellouin Abbey, WHITES - TRANSPARENCIES - LIGHT
presents both linen works and works of artists whose thought and concept
of creation are particularly in harmony with the spirituality of the place
: a disobedient art made of crossing, superpositions, putting of the light
in space in order to talk about moments of life, the perception of the
world and the creative force, beyonf all fragilities. |

The linen, patrimonial
wealth, queen-fibre of the Upper-Normandy, has given to artists of this
Biennale, an original and privileged way to give to see their emotions,
transmuted in a new aesthetic.
And if one believes
the important number of fils received - over 700 - this exhibition was
a hoped event, waited by artists, and its future seems thus promising.
