The Possibilities of Embroidery and Textile Techniques Within Contemporary Conceptual Art

Abstract

Contemporary conceptual textile artworks show that the tradition of textile art is not only extensive but it is also possible to transform them into modern, conceptual forms. The concepts concerning the aspects of women’s life and the conscious reinterpretation of the technique prove that there are inexhaustible possibilities hidden in these techniques. The materialization of these works indicates the progressive nature of textile art within the contemporary conceptual artistic realm.
