Textile in contemporary art has long transcended the boundaries of craft and has become a language through which we talk about memory, time, and personal experience. This lecture will help to see in threads, old clothes, embroidery, and knitting a living artistic material through which Ural authors are reassembling the history, feelings, and image of today. Today, textile in contemporary art is perceived quite differently than it was a few decades ago. What was once primarily associated with the decorative and applied arts is increasingly becoming an independent artistic statement. Threads, old clothes, hand embroidery, knitting, fabric with its traces of time-all of this is used as a full-fledged medium capable of speaking about memory, corporeality, fragility, family history, and collective experience. That is why the conversation about textile today turns out to be a conversation about modernity in the broadest sense. Marina Kolchina's lecture focuses on how modern Ural artists work with this material. In recent years, many projects have taken place in Yekaterinburg and Perm where textile occupies a central place, and this interest is clearly not accidental. It is driven by a return to manual practices, a reevaluation of traditionally "quiet" materials, and a desire of artists to speak about the personal through objects that can be easily touched by sight and memory. This approach allows us to see in fabric and threads not a background, but the meaningful center of the work. Where to go in Yekaterinburg, KudaGo knows.
