Curated by Sergio Risaliti and Stefania Rispoli, the multifaceted career of the tireless artist born in Timisoara, Romania in 1929 is retraced, with her living and breathing textiles flowing across the exhibition space. Created using fabric scraps, her sculpture installations treat themes of identity, the patriarchy, the internet and our consumer society. The exhibition extends to Manifattura Tabacchi in collaboration with Polimoda, where environmental textile installations created from industrial textile waste play with the dichotomies of presence and absence, colour and transparency, while exploring emptiness as a space of freedom.
