Three Climates

Since ancient times, ancient cultures knew that time could not be separated from space. It was understood that humans measured the passage of their lives on Earth by comparing it to their surroundings, drawing analogies between themselves and nature.

In this exhibition, we seek to bring together in a single space and a single moment three geographies and three diverse times represented by different artists, weavers, and designers who have managed to express geographical narratives from their environments and interpretations through textiles. We can observe how textiles have the ability to be the connecting thread between time and space, between art and utility, between ritual and everyday life, between the past and the future. And how, between these two opposites, a third one emerges, which is capable of uniting them within a cyclical and repetitive movement. 

Currently, science has managed to explain through the theory of relativity that time and space are indivisible and interdependent on the observer's state of motion. Therefore, time is always expressed from the narrator's point of view and their environment. For this reason, the narrative of geography is also that of cyclical time rather than linear time, corresponding to spiral movement, the cycle of natural phenomena, and the states of interaction among elements such as water, earth, and wind; the coast, the valley, and the mountain. 

In this exhibition, we seek to bring together in a single space and a single moment three geographies and three diverse times represented by different artists, weavers, and designers who have managed to express geographical narratives from their environments and interpretations through textiles. We can observe how textiles have the ability to be the connecting thread between time and space, between art and utility, between ritual and everyday life, between the past and the future. And how, between these two opposites, a third one emerges, which is capable of uniting them within a cyclical and repetitive movement. Between the warp (space) and the weft (time) of a fabric, it is the hand of the weaver that generates movement. 

It is the third time, the present time, that gives life and generates movement, being the bridge that connects and emerges from these two extremes through the exercise of spinning narratives.
