Une brève histoire de fils | Opening on October 10, 2024

Elias Crespin and Sidival Fila are among the artists featured in 'Une brève histoire de fils', opening at the Maison de l’Amérique Latine on October 10. The show also includes works by other renowned Latin American artists spanning from the 1960s to today, such as Gego, Anna Maria Maiolino and Jesús Rafael Soto.

 

Curated by Domitille d'Orgeval, the exhibition showcases works focusing on thread, weaving, braiding, and knotting. These techniques, deeply rooted in Latin American vernacular traditions, evoke memories and archetypes that have shaped human culture, symbolizing profound connections between time, spirituality and human destiny across different societies and mythologies.
