Annual exhibition of the Textile Society of Estonia 2024
At the Museum of New Art
December, 7, 2024 – March, 2, 2025
There is strengh and vigor in colours, individually as well as in combinations, all depends on collaboration and harmony. Bright and dimmed, intensive and subdued, the choice between opposites is always different. In harmony alone, they all together sometimes make a real hullabaloo! So, with the authors at the exhibition – opposition and strength of standing side by side reveal at the common exhibition. The Textile Society unites artists of very different positions and creative handwriting in the work of whose textile is the central material. As a tradition, the annual exhibition is an expected event for the participants as well as the audience.
