Box Times in Tapestry

Share this webpage

The result of a collab­or­a­tion between mudac and the Toms Pauli Found­a­tion, the public­a­tion accom­pa­ny­ing the exhib­i­tion Times in Tapestry. Goshka Macuga x Grayson Perry x Mary Toms explores the vari­ous dimen­sions of a medium through four main themes: tapestry and its creat­ive process, its inter­ac­tion with space, its narrat­ive func­tion, and its polit­ical and social engage­ment. At the inter­sec­tion of these themes are contem­por­ary tapestries by Goshka Macuga and Grayson Perry, and 17^th-century Flem­ish tapestries preserved in Lausanne.
The public­a­tion, which will be avail­able in French and English, will bring together, under the direc­tion of Marco Cost­antini and Magali Junet, several texts by authors from both the world of tapestry and the contem­por­ary art scene. This book presents essays by Marco Cost­antini, Sophie Herbin, Magali Junet, Anne-Sophie Laruelle, Diane Maechler, Zané Purmale, Grant Watson, and Errol Van de Werdt in a book­let.
The texts are accom­pan­ied by 23 separ­ate plates repro­du­cing the works in the exhib­i­tion. The collec­tion, presen­ted in a luxury box set, is published in 100 numbered copies in French and 100 numbered copies in English. The public­a­tion is produced by mudac editions in collab­or­a­tion with the Toms Pauli Found­a­tion.
