3rd Triennial of Textile Art
Call for Projects

June 2009
The Cultural Foundation for the Textile Art and the Art Gallery of Szombathely will organise the 3rd Triennial of Textile Art in June 2009 in the Gallery of Szombathely.
Theme: presence = being present
When we unfold the word "presence" and discover its two semantic constituents – "being" (being part of the material world; being) and "present" (the present time, the era in which we are living – we find that when they are matched and juxtaposed in one word – "presence" – the meanings of the two separate notions assume new complex meanings pointing far beyond their individual meanings.
