4th Riga International Textile And Fibre Art Triennial
By a Correspondent
GLOBAL INTRIGUE 2 develops and extends the theme of the previous Triennial based on different aspects of gobalization in connection with new problems and challenges in our contemporary world.
For example: How do artists manifest themselves in the period of the global crisis? Can we feel it in art or not?
How does it affect artistic expression and creativity? How do textile artists update their time in space/surroundings, materials and contemporary technologies? How do innovations work in cross-cultural contacts? etc.
