Chanel and its subsidiary Paraffection are showcasing the art of embroidery and weaving at the Galerie du 19M. This transdisciplinary space brings together eleven art studios, including the renowned Érès house, and over 600 craftsmen and experts. The gallery will host a series of unique events at the end of the month, under the theme “Sur le fil: un voyage au coeur de la broderie et du tissage” (“On the Thread: a journey into embroidery and weaving”).
The Fall-Winter 2022-2023 season at the Galerie du 19M highlights the craftsmanship of embroidery and weaving. The program is designed as a journey in four “episodes,” offering opportunities for observation, exchange, and initiation.
Visitors will have the chance to experience a face-to-face encounter with the photographic and embroidery work of Laurent Poleo-Garnier. The participatory installation project “Entrelacs” will also be featured, allowing visitors to engage with the art of embroidery and weaving. Additionally, there will be an off-site exhibition and workshop during the International Festival of Fashion, Photography, and Accessories in Hyères. The programming aims to foster dialogue between young creators, artists, resident workshops at 19M (including the Montex Workshop), and the public.
Since its inauguration in January, the Galerie du 19M has been dedicated to encouraging synergy between different artistic professions. It recently expanded to include a dining space, providing a hub for artistic and culinary collaborations. The gallery also serves as a platform to increase visibility for crafts such as embroidery and weaving through meetings, conferences, and thematic workshops.
The “Sur le fil: un voyage au coeur de la broderie et du tissage” program will be presented from August 31 to February 12. More information about the program can be found here.
