The work of Bart Hess is of the most tactile and intuitive nature. Crossing boundaries between design, fashion and art, his oeuvre is a series of studies into materiality, (virtual) reality and technology. He is fascinated by the human body, which he tends to cloak in ways that have little to do with styling or fashion but more so with performance art and science fiction. Hess makes material studies, (animation) video’s and photographs with the relationship between man and material, nature and technology at the centre. In his work he’s looking for the tension between attraction and repulsion when exploring the intimate relationship that materials have with our skin.
Textile 110 is a series of events celebrating the 110th anniversary of EKA’s textile design education, as part of which a series of open lectures focusing on textiles will be held, a series of publications will be published, and a selection of works from the EKA Museum’s textile collection can be seen throughout the year.
The lecture series opens up the spectrum of diverse opportunities in the field of textiles, both in design, industry, and creative practices, bringing out different roles and methods of creation in the field through various invited guests.
