On July 22, Lenzing presented an exciting new exhibition and series of events curated by the art institution Cittadellarte, the Fondazione Pistoletto, Accademia Unidee and Fashion B.E.S.T. at the Castello Gamba, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Châtillon, northern Italy.
The exhibition explores the connection between art, sustainability and technological innovation, highlighting “Glacial Threads: From Forest to Future Textiles,” alongside works by the acclaimed Italian artist Michelangelo Pistoletto, a figurehead of the Arte Povera movement, including his Segno Arte structures. Other featured works by Pistoletto include “Il Tronco,” “Metamorfosi,” and “La Mela Reintegrata,” along with “Venus of the Rags”—one of the artist’s most celebrated works.
