Twisting, sculpture, embroidery... Three talents embody the renewal in the art of textiles

Aude Franjou, Simone Pheulpin, and Aurélie Mathigot, who were spotted at the Révélations biennial at the Grand Palais last May, work with fabric in a unique way. Each, in their own style, offers a very contemporary vision of the use of fiber. This week, they are bringing this national artisanal pride to Copenhagen, where they are exhibiting until June 20 at the French Embassy in Denmark as part of the 3daysofdesign festival. This is an opportunity for the Parisian Maison gallery, founded in 2008 by Florence Guillier-Bernard, to unveil this work with the material that it ardently defends. These three talents from different generations—following the pioneers of Colombian artist Olga de Amaral (exhibited at the Fondation Cartier last winter) and Paris-based American artist Sheila Hicks—express their audacity by dusting off the genre.
