SYMPOSIUM BIODESIGN IN TEXTILES
Spring symposium
18/5/2015
start at 10am
Rijksmuseum Volkenkunde Leiden
BIODESIGN IN TEXTILES
Nowadays designers are increasingly making more use of animal and vegetal materials in order to create radical new design concepts. (Micro)organisms, such as fungi, bacteria and algae, can be used to either make, improve or influence textile. So-called 'living' textile which has not been produced mechanically, but 'grown'.
During the Spring Symposium 2015 the Textielcommissie.nl wishes to demonstrate new developments in the area of biologically manufactured textiles. What will these textiles do for us? Are we able to control fungi and bacteria and can textiles manufactured with or from these microorganisms be stored in museum collections? Will bio textiles demand other requirements with regards to restoration and conservation?

We have added a board to our Pinterest page with interesting links to bio textile designers. Although we were not able to program all subjects, this will give you a nice insight on what to expect during our Spring Symposium 2015 in Leiden! Go to: Biotextiel op Pinterest.

Symposia
The Textile Commission organizes textile symposia (formerly 'textile days') twice a year. The symposia have an interdisciplinary approach in which conservators, (art) historians, artists, scientists and technicians contribute in the form of an illustrated talk. Each symposium treats a theme on which specialists shine their light. Besides the talks, symposiums provide the perfect opportunity to meet professional colleagues, share experiences and to make and maintain contacts. Usually the symposia are held at the Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed in Amersfoort.
FUTURE SYMPOSIA (to be confirmed)
