Rijswijk Textile Biennial 2011
Museum Rijswijk
Netherlands
summer of 2011

In the first Rijswijk Textile Biennial, the work of sixteen contemporary fine artists who use textiles in their work was shown. Originally a painter, sculptor or graphic artist, they each realized at a particular point in their careers that textile fibres were the ultimate means of expression for their ideas. In order to achieve this, they had to first familiarize themselves with new techniques and master other materials. They employed time-honoured textile-making skills and materials (often in an unorthodox ways and from a modern viewpoint) with the computer frequently playing an important role.

The next Rijswijk Textile Biennial will be organized in the summer of 2011. If you would like to participate, please send us a cd-rom with pictures of your recent artworks and a curriculum vitae in English before August 30, 2010. Please send it to:
