Timp de aproape trei luni, MNAC prezinta o expozitie cu lucrari de tapiserie contemporana din colectia Manufacturii Nationale Gobelins. Ambasada Frantei, Institutul Francez si Mobilier National propun un itinerar artistic de o amploare deosebita, raportat la o tehnica specifica, cea a tesaturii lanii, itinerar ce marcheaza dialogul constant artist-artizan.

„Tehnica tesutului lanii ofera curentelor si miscarilor din a doua jumatate a secolului XX un vast domeniu de exprimare: nonfigurativii (Messagier, Frydman), Arta conceptuală (Oppenheim), figuraţie narativă (Erro, Arroyo), Op Art / Arta Cinetica (Vasarely, Agam), hiper realism (Schlosser), etc. Alegerea celor 35 de opere propuse ca reper, arata ca arta tapiseriei nu a incetat sa se reinventeze, in acelasi timp ramanand fidela tehnicilor de baza. Opera tesuta nu este o copie, ci e o creatie originala (colectiva) in care se dezvolta si reactualizeaza potentialul conţinut de fiecare model de pornire”. (Marie Hélene Massé Bersani)

Infiintate de Henric al IV-lea, Ludovic al XIII-lea si Ludovic al XIV-lea pentru a furniza Coroanei creatii de prestigiu, cele trei manufacturi, Gobelins, Beauvais si Savonnerie, sunt inca si astazi locuri de creatie active.

For almost three months, MNAC will host an exhibition of contemporary tapestries works from the collection of Manufacture Nationale Gobelin. The French Embassy, Institut Francais and Mobilier National are proposing a large scale artistic itinerary around a specific technique: wool weaving – an itinerary emphasising the constant dialogue artist-craftsman.

“The wool weaving technique provides a vaste field of expression to the different artistic movements of the second half opf the 20th century: The non-figuratives (Messagier, Frydman), Conceptual Art (Oppenheim), Narrative Figuration ((Erro, Arroyo), Op Art / Kinetic Art (Vasarely, Agam), Hyper-realism (Schlosser), etc. The choice of the 35 works proposed as references proves that the art of tapestry never stoped reinventing itself, preserving in the same time the basic techniques. The woven piece is not a copy, but an original collective work, devellopping and updating the potential of the starting model”. (Marie Hélene Massé Bersani).

Founded by Henric the IVth, Louis the XIIth , Louis the XIVth in order to provide The Crown prestigious creations, the three manufactures: Gobelins, Beauvais and Savonnerie, represent even today active spaces for artistic creation.
