In this first Rijswijk Textile Biennial, the work of sixteen contemporary fine artists who use textiles in their work will be on show. 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 employ time-honoured textile-making skills and materials, often in an unorthodox way and from a modern viewpoint, with the computer frequently playing an important role.
Please join us at the official opening of the Rijswijk Textile Biennial 2009 on Sunday, June 28 at 15:00hrs. at the Old Church, opposite the Museum Rijswijk.
