Aurèlia Muñoz. Primers treballs tèxtils

Exhibition at Disseny Hub Barcelona featuring three pieces from the museum's collection that trace Aurèlia Muñoz's first textile works, including a tapestry made from printed hessian.

The exhibition brings together three works from the collection of the Museu del Disseny - DHub that correspond to Aurèlia Muñoz's earliest textile works. They are the tapestry La Barcelona gòtica, made from printed hessian, and two altar frontals (cobretaules) designed by Muñoz and printed by José Duran on screen-printed jute hessian. The pieces reveal her early interest in the expressive qualities of materials, textures and the artistic possibilities of woven fabric.

Disseny Hub Barcelona is the museum dedicated to design in the city, located on Plaza de les Glòries Catalanes. Muñoz trained at the Escola d'Arts Aplicades and the Escola Massana de Barcelona, and over more than fifty years of career she reinvented techniques such as embroidery, knotting (macramé) and papermaking, engaging in dialogue with the avant-gardes of her time.

The exhibition complements the major exhibition Ens, on view at the MACBA. Its route is brief and focuses on a few works, making it a visit designed for anyone who wishes to get to know Muñoz's first steps in textiles and compare them with her later work.
