This book explores the rise of thread in contemporary art since the beginning of the 21st century. Present at major international events, textile art defies the boundaries between fine art, design and tradition, while highlighting "peripheral" cultures and blurring genres. Through a selection of innovative artists, it reveals how thread becomes a medium for addressing political, social and ecological issues.
