The programme focuses on culture as an all-embracing and supporting force for sustainable development of our societies – particularly regarding the culture ministers’ efforts to attain a green, competitive, and socially sustainable Nordic region. The programme thereby supports the vision that the Nordic region will be the world’s most sustainable and integrated region in 2030.
Textile is at once a language, a concept and a material thing. Philosophers such as Plato, Deleuze and Derrida have notably drawn on weaving processes to illustrate their ideas, and artists such as Ann Hamilton, Louise Bourgeois and Chiharu Shiota explore matters such as the seam, the needle and thread, and the flow of viscous materials in their work. Yet thinking about textile and making textile are often treated as separate and distinct practices, rather than parallel modes. This beautifully illustrated book brings together for the first time the language and materiality of textile to develop new models of thinking, writing and making. Through the work of thinkers such as Roland Barthes, Hélène Cixous and Luce Irigaray, and international artists like Eva Hesse and Helen Chadwick, textile practitioner, theorist and writer Catherine Dormor puts forward a new philosophy of textile. Exploring the material behaviours and philosophical language of folding, shimmering, seaming, viscosity, fraying and caressing, Dormor demonstrates how textile practice and theory are intricately woven together.

- First English monograph on the Norwegian textile artist Kari Steihaug- Twenty-five years of the artist's work collected in one volume- Contributions in poetry and prose provide an impressive introduction to Steihaug's work- Accompanied an exhibition at Galleri Dropsfabrikken, Trondheim (NO), 29 October - 22 November 2022In Kari Steihaug's art, what is overseen plays a major role. The things that have been set aside, unfinished projects, objects that are worn or frayed are all solicitously brought into the light. This is also evident in the materials used by the textile artist: Steihaug's works feature worn out woollen garments as well as unfinished knitwear. By embracing imperfection, her creations become a counterbalance to the galloping consumer culture of our time, allowing us to see with fresh eyes what surrounds us in everyday life. This book brings together 25 years of her work. Contributions in poetry and prose introduce Steihaug's work and trace the lines of a diverse and rich practice. With contributions by Monica Aasprong, Ingvill Henmo, Anne Karin Jortveit, Aasne Linnestå, Halvor Nordby, Kjetil Røed, Cecilie Skeide, and Kari Steihaug.
