Yet the story of Danish textile printing and the craftsmanship behind it remains unfamiliar to many. <em>THE POWER OF PRINT<\/em> at Designmuseum Danmark aims to change that. The exhibition offers a spectacular mosaic of colorful textiles \u2013 both contemporary and historical \u2013 and invites visitors behind the scenes of this highly specialized craft.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Textile Printing in the Golden Age of Danish Design<\/strong><br \/>\nFrom the early 20th century onwards, Danish textile printing helped shape the internationally acclaimed Danish interior and design culture, characterized by playful use of color, recurring motifs, and a touch of poetry and humor. The tradition of small-scale workshops and hand printing was strong in Denmark, but it was through collaboration with the industry that architects and artists like Arne Jacobsen and Axel Salto became involved in textile design. However, it was primarily women who shaped the textile printing field, and the exhibition places special emphasis on artisans such as Marie Gudme Leth, Helga Foght, Ruth Hull, Dorte Raaschou, and Grete Ehs \u00d8stergaard. Among the more recent works are prints by textile printers Vibeke Riisberg, Pernille Holm, and Margrethe Odgaard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>A Living Craft<\/strong><br \/>\nVisitors can look forward to a vibrant and immersive exhibition that not only features many historical gems from the museum\u2019s large textile collection but also offers insight into the craft techniques and a unique opportunity to experience \u201ctextile printing now.\u201d <em>THE POWER OF PRINT<\/em> features works by eight of Denmark\u2019s most prominent practicing textile printers \u2013 Josefina Enevold, Lisbet Friis, Bitten Hegelund, Else Borup Kalles\u00f8e, Anne Fabricius M\u00f8ller, Liv Marie R\u00f8mer, Trine Tronhjem, and Janne Wendt \u2013 all of whom explore artistic expression in hand-printed textiles while developing and renewing the craft. Their exhibited works are created especially for this exhibition and will be shown for the first time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In connection with <em>THE POWER OF PRINT<\/em> the book\u00a0<em>Danish Textile Printing in 100 Years<\/em>\u00a0(in Danish) will be published by Strandberg Publishing, written by Designmuseum Danmark curator Kirsten Toftegaard. A smaller catalogue featuring the eight contemporary fabric printers and their works will also be released.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">THE <em>POWER OF PRINT<\/em> will be on show at Designmuseum Danmark from May 22, 2025, to January 4, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE POWER OF PRINT is\u00a0showcasing textiles by some of the greatest Danish textile printers throughout history, and displaying new textiles from a select group of the most skilled textile printers of our time.
