Praça da República, nº42, Beja
Matassa, part of the Hypertextile project, presents textiles as a language and a device for thinking, exploring artistic processes developed in residencies in Portugal (2024–2025). Built on the metaphor and the physical reality of the matassa, a skein of intertwined threads, the exhibition proposes a non-linear logic of overlaps, accumulations and interdependencies between 34 artists.
Between the handmade and the technological, tradition and innovation are in dialogue, revealing the processes, gestures and decisions that shape each work. Visitors are invited to follow fragmentary paths, discover connections and inhabit a tangle that reveals textiles as a critical field for thinking about relationships, temporalities and ways of reinventing the present.
