INTERTWINGLED – The Role of the Rug in Arts, Crafts and Design
21/03/2022-04/09/2022
Everything is deeply intertwingled
The word intertwingled was coined in 1960 by the American sociologist and philosopher Ted Nelson to define the complexity of the interconnections in the field of knowledge, where there are no isolated subjects, but there is knowledge as a whole, made up of myriad connections and cross-relationships, which cannot be disentangled and neatly divided into a hierarchical order, but must be explored in many dimensions.
Only in this way can the connections and transformations of our world be made visible.
Embracing this vision, the exhibition INTERTWINGLED The Role of the Rug in Arts, Crafts and Design, curated by Martí Guixé and Inga Knölke, represents an extraordinary example, and offers for the first time a fascinating, open, and disruptive interpretation of the interconnected world in which we live.
From the Salone Centrale to the Sala delle Colonne, and through precise references to the artworks in Time is Out of Joint, the exhibition explores rugs and tapestries in different fields – art, craft, design – and projects them into more conceptual realms, establishing new relationships with ideas such as nomadism, real estate, visible and invisible networks, hypertext, decentralized power, non-linear narratives, and the inherent power in the concept of unity.
Carpets and tapestries are physically composed of a multitude of threads and knots that intertwine to create patterns and surfaces. Therefore, they are both metaphors and interfaces of a device that shows-and-hides the weft and warp from which they originated. Carpets and tapestries can be interpreted as ways of occupying space in a material and metaphorical sense, since their fabric is also composed of political, economic, and social relationships.
The network – seen as a framework, a palimpsest, a proto-configuration of a carpet or tapestry – is also the proto-configuration of our society and culture. And it is only by adopting this systemic thought, which is fueled by connections, that we can understand our cultural and material ecosystem, from small habits up to large scale decisions.
«INTERTWINGLED is not only a dense and layered ethnography of design, it is a journey through many dimensions, weaving our experience with what we know and what we have yet to discover, along with what we don’t see but should be able to imagine. Visiting the exhibition will be like taking a step into simultaneity: discarding the obvious and discovering wonder; speeding up, slowing down, shifting pace; redesigning and recreating our experience».

Martí Guixé (Barcelona, 1964) is a designer, trained in Barcelona and Milan, whose work transcends the usual boundaries of this discipline; the museums where he has exhibited include MoMA in New York, MACBA in Barcelona, Triennale in Milan, MART in Rovereto, Centre Pompidou in Paris, Mudac in Lausanne and Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome.
Inga Knölke (Hannover, 1965) is a photographer based in Berlin and Barcelona. She directs the project Imagekontainer. She studied photography at the Lette Foundation in Berlin and holds a degree in Cultural Sciences and Aesthetic Communication from the University of Hildesheim.
Food Age. Food as Influencer is the final exhibition in the trilogy curated by Martí Guixé and Inga Knölke for the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea.
Three exhibitions that have seen the museum, for the first time, explore in a radical and unconventional way the hybrid territory in which art, design and craftsmanship engage in a dialogue.
The first exhibition was On Flower Power (2019) which addressed the question of the capacity for empathy within digital techniques and mechanisms with digital operating systems, where the object of mediation was the flower vase.

16.07 — 29.09.2019The second stage was instead INTERTWINGLED (2022) which concerned interconnectivity and the possibility of making complexity visible through a graphic and concrete interface, with the motif of the weaving and the carpet as a common thread.

21.03 — 04.09.2022The latest exhibition Food Age. Food as Influencer (2023) has staged food, paradoxically the object we have to deal with most during our existence and, through a subliminal reading, shows it to the public from a new point of view.
