Cultural Center: Weavings & Twists

Exhibition from March 18 to April 17 at the Arsenal and at the Ribbon Museum from Tuesday to Saturday from 2 PM to 5 PM Entrée Libre   Vernissage on Thursday, March 18, meeting at 6:30 PM at the Ribbon Museum. Recently welcomed in residency at the Ribbon Museum, Leïla Pile, Alice Pandolfo and Antonella Valerio are brought together for the first time in a joint exhibition. All three explore textiles as a space of thought, a tool of measurement, a terrain of experimentation or a lever of emancipation. Their practices, distinct yet convergent, share a focus on movement, transformation, and the memory of gestures. Chez Leïla Pile, the thread becomes a measurement and a sensitive archive. Through surveying, performance, and weaving, she composes topographies and installations where the body serves as a unit of measurement. Alice Pandolfo creates installations resulting from the encounter between a space and its residual materials. In-situ cordage, luminous structures, or evolving pieces question tension, anchorage, and transformation. Avec Antonella Valerio, textiles become a tool of circulation and transmission. Her committed work values textile waste, activates collaborative networks, and rehabilitates know-how through upcycled creations and participatory devices. Together, their works weave a common cartography where the thread becomes a bond, a gesture, and a shared narrative. Sunday, April 4, is the 1st Sunday of the month… and it's free! Special opening from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM and from 2:30 PM to 5 PM. Guided tours departing from the Ribbon Museum at 10:30 AM and 2:30 PM. Creative workshop with Antonella Valerio at 10:30 AM.
