Abstract

Le tricot et le crochet dans l'art contemporainParce que le tricot et le crochet ne sont pas réservés aux longues soirées d?hiver, Charlotte Vannier est allée à la rencontre d?artistes contemporains qui revisitent ces techniques traditionnelles de façon tout à fait inédite.Ces femmes et ces hommes ont fait du tricot ou du crochet leur médium privilégié pour partager leur fantaisie, leurs combats et leurs rêves. Les artistes présentés dans cet ouvrage ont en commun l?amour du fil et une immense originalité. Tricot à très grande échelle, installations poétiques, reproductions tricotées d?aliments et d?objets du quotidien constituent quelques-unes des pistes choisies.Ce livre nous fait découvrir le parcours de tous ces artistes, leurs influences, les défis techniques auxquels ils se confrontent et le message qu?ils souhaitent transmettre à travers leurs oeuvres. Militantisme, expression artistique très personnelle et recherches esthétiques contemporaines sont ainsi au rendez-vous de ces rencontres tout à fait passionnantes.https://pyramyd-editions.com/products/ceci-n-est-pas-un-pull

Abstract

Knitting and crochet have long been considered forms of folk art, but in the 21st century, these time-honoured crafts are breaking away from the outdated stereotype of cosy domesticity. Whether miniature or oversized, multi-coloured or monochrome, abstract or naturalistic, intimate or exhibitionist, knitted works are now invading galleries, museums and other public spaces. Yarn has become a medium for artistic expression as valid and multifaceted as painting, sculpture or photography. Showcasing forty international artists who incorporate knitting, crochet and more into their practice, this book provides a survey of yarn work in contemporary art, illustrating the huge range of ways in which these techniques have been embraced as a form of creative expression. Some artists evoke a kind of nostalgia, rediscovering skills that have fallen from fashion or promoting the value of ancient handicrafts in an industrialized world of mass-production. Others push the boundaries of knitting by using non-traditional materials such as rope or wire, or by using its sculptural potential to tackle themes that are political, personal or transgressive. Although often associated with feelings of warmth, enclosure and familial love, yarn can also represent the ties that bind us together or a membrane that protects us from the world. Packed with striking images, this book demonstrates how knitting needles and crochet hooks can created works of art that are challenging and unique, forcing us to take a fresh look at our own lives and beliefs and at the objects that surround us every day.

Abstract

Showcasing over 80 international artists who incorporate embroidery into their practice, this book provides a survey of embroidery in contemporary art, illustrating the huge range of ways in which the craft has been embraced as a form of creative expression. Some artists evoke a kind of nostalgia, rediscovering skills that have fallen from fashion or promoting the value of ancient handicrafts in an industrialized world of mass-production. Others push boundaries by using embroidery on photographs, poetic installations, embroidered reproductions of everyday objects, or by using it to tackle political, personal or transgressive themes. 'Threads' is a captivating exploration of their creative journeys, their influences, the technical challenges they face and the message they wish to convey.
