EXHITION TEXNET 2


 

After the project "TEXNET 1 with 7 artists from Europe, in September 2018 Juliette Eckel invited textile artists from Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia to join the project TEXNET 2.

As with the TEXNET 1 project, the 20 artists worked together for two years on the theme of a “Textile Calendar".
The basis for the work is textile material but there was also the possibility of using non-textile materials.
The members of the group interacted and discuss via Facebook.

Each of the artists has been working with textiles for a long time, with their respective national background and culture.
For the project Textile Calendar the members were asked to choose a theme and two work on it depicting one textile year using their techniques, their materials and colours.
The result is an extraordinary exhibition with 365 artwotks of the sizes 15x15cm and 32x15cm and 32x32cm.
Additionally a second calendar was created by 12 of the artists who did large pieces of 90x150cm for the twelve months of the year.
With their first exhibition scheduled in 2020 and postponed to 2021, the 20 international artists , who have never met together in one place, want to show how creative interaction over the internet can be.

  I am delighted to introduce a tiny part of the Textnet2 project, initiated by Juliette Eckel. We are an international group (Europe, North-America and Australia) of textile artists who have collaborated for two years while living apart and working alone. Many of us have never met each other in person. Our project is based on a 12 months calendar. We are excited to announce that the international Carrefour European Du Patchwork en Alsace takes place in September this year and the Nadelwelt Karlsruhe in May 2022.

it's done! the car is packed and tomorrow I´m leaving for the EPM 2021! In a few days our exhibition will be shown at the EPM and now it is time for me to say thank you to the members of TEXNET 2. Thank you for believing in me and in this ambitious project! I remember very well that at the beginning an artist, who later didn't take part, asked me what if it doesn't work. My answer was: if I don't try, I'll never know ... Some of the invited artists probably didn't believe in the project ... But then we started with 21 artists! The first few months were very exciting and new. So many interesting and so different works were created. It was a wonderful experience to know that all around the world you have been working for the project. Again and again I could see how surprised and touched we all were to discover the work that was shown. To understand what our origins and our artistic background make up for our work was always moving. At the end it was a very spec...

  Since 2018 I am a member of texnet 2 an international art quilt group and now we finally have our first major exhibition in st.Marie aux mines from 16 to 19 September. We are 21 artists and every month we have made 1 or two pieces of work with the theme of the month we are in at that moment, in the end we made a whole of it. In total we have become 427 works of art. On the left a photo of my large work inspired by the rapeseed fields. To the right the winter months.
