SOFT SCULPTURE: the full program

Soft Sculpture is an interdisciplinary project dedicated to investigating the expressive and conceptual possibilities of sculpture through soft materials such as fibres and fabrics.
The programme combines exhibitions by artists of different nationalities and generations, supporting the research and training of young artists, and workshops on three-dimensional textile techniques, confirming the vocation of the space to be a place of experimentation and production.

If from the the 1960s and 1970s, sculpture opened up to unconventional materials organic and ‘soft’, it remains tied to the idea of solidity and permanence. Soft Sculpture investigates the use of textiles and fibres not only as a material choice, but as a practice that expands the the boundaries of sculpture, expanding its plasticity and relationship to space. With an interdisciplinary approach, the programme touches on different themes, reflecting theversatility of textiles in the contemporary art scene.

The programme runs over the bienary 2025/2026.
