INFORMACIJE ZA OBISKOVALCE BIENALA
BIEN 2023: Sonce / The Sun
Bienale tekstilne umetnosti / Textile Art Biennial
Junij–Avgust 2023
SI / Kranj, Škofja Loka, Jesenice, Nova Gorica
Bienale tekstilne umetnosti BIEN 2023 povezuje štiri slovenska mesta, Kranj, Škofjo Loko, Jesenice in Novo Gorico. Letošnja osrednja tema umetniškega dogodka je “sonce”. Mit, legenda, sveto. Tisto, ki ustvarja senco. Ključen element našega propada in preživetja. Energija in vir. Razlog za druženje, srečanje, skupnostno ustvarjanje s tekstilom. BIEN predstavlja 123 umetnic, umetnikov, praktikov in razsikovalk ter 148 študentov.
Umetniški projekti na bienalu so nam lahko v navdih in opomin. Raziskujejo nevarnosti, ki jih prinaša naraščajoča okoljska in podnebna kriza. Poudarjajo pa tudi prijetne lastnosti toplote, rasti in omogočanja, ki izvirajo iz naše najsvetlejše zvezde. Odrast in rast, končni posledici našega ambivalentnega odnosa do sonca, sta v ospredju razmislekov razstavnih projektov, delavnic, pogovorov in dogodkov. Raziskujemo pomene in prakse tekstilne kulture, kjer sta ponavaljanje in trajanje neločljivo povezana. Vabimo vas, da spoznavate počasno umetnost.
