Cabaret Series: Textile Tests | The Future of Textiles in Design

Cabaret Series: Textile Tests examines the way in which textiles—through a variety of applications, scales and techniques—participate in the making of both normative and experimental forms and spaces.

Storefront’s latest Cabaret Series brings together a group of architects, engineers, designers and other experts, who will each deliver a presentation-performance focusing on a particular category of textiles. Participants will present objects, materials and/or textile samples, and reflect upon the future of textiles in design.

About the Cabaret Series

Storefront’s Cabaret Series develops modes of expression that engage with contemporary discourse, engaging the audience and the social, political, and physical space of Storefront in a playful and humorous manner. The series aims to produce new modes of communication between speakers, performers, and spectators through provocation, seduction, and immediacy.

About the Book

Textile Technology and Design: From Interior Space to Outer Space (Bloomsbury Academic, 2016) addresses the critical role of the interior at the intersection of design and technology, with a range of interdisciplinary arguments by a wide range of contributors: from design practitioners to researchers and scholars to aerospace engineers. The book examines the way in which textiles and technology – while seemingly distinct – continually inform each other through their persistent overlapping of interests, and eventually coalesce in the practice of interior design.
