5th International Biennial of Textile Arts, Buenos Aires

The 5th International Biennial of Textile Art will be held from April 1st to 25th, 2009 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Palais de Glace, organized by the World Textile Art Organization (WTA). The 5th International Biennial of Textile Art places its attention on those artists who choose to express themselves through fibers and weaving, resignifying through their work the concept of Textile Art, by taking away all boundaries and making it explode into many meanings and connotations.

Overstepping boundaries and combining different disciplines, those artists participating in the 5th International Biennial of Textile Art start from the mere fibers to merge into new technologies, venturing to follow new lines of investigation, fusing their quests and challenging categorizations but keeping the soul of textile materials as the integrating element.

US 5.000 cash awards
