For Condo London, Public Gallery and Proyectos Ultravioleta are pleased to present The Fold, a collaborative group exhibition proposing a dialogue between textiles and space. Taking its title from Gilles Deleuze’s concept of ‘the fold’, this exhibition imagines the ‘fabric of reality’ as entirely interconnected, as if constituted by a single, continuous surface. In her essay Folds, Fragments, Surfaces, Pennina Barnett summarizes the Deleuzian fold as “a virtual, even cinematic image – of ‘points…referrals, spaces’; an infinity of folds always in motion, composing and recomposing without inside or outside, beginning or end”. Foregrounding practices that understand woven forms and the accumulation of everyday fibres as sites of embodied knowledge, the exhibition examines how textiles invite an investigation into the spatial and temporal. By interrogating fabric-based works alongside sculpture, installation and performance, the exhibition situates textiles as a structural and material logic. The Fold thus proposes a relationship between stitching and space, arguing for textiles' potential to reconfigure spatial, social and temporal infrastructures.
