Exhibition «Collapse of the Weave Function»

From 6 to 30 November, Matadero Madrid hosts the exhibition by the Amsterdam artistic duo Metahaven, known for its projects at the intersection of cinema, design and philosophy. The exhibition is part of the LAB 4 Futuros Raros programme and investigates how technology and imagination intertwine in art.

Attention focuses on four works: the video installation Hometown and three textile compositions created especially for this project. In Hometown, filmed in Kiev and Beirut, the two cities become a single imaginary landscape, where the protagonists seem to reflect one another.

The textile works Collapse of the Weave Function, After Attention and Centerless explore the limits of perception, attention and human connection with the world. Centerless is especially striking: an enormous canvas made of coloured plastic bags that recalls the movement of a flock of birds.

Metahaven’s exhibition is a visual meditation on how art is capable of transforming science, emotions and philosophy into a single poetic space.
