BORÅS ART BIENNIAL · SWEDEN
Nathalie Pozzi
Borås Art Biennial 2026 spins a web of tales and testimonies that trace the legacies of textile industry. Unfolding across the city centre and between the Art and Textile Museums in Borås, the biennial exhibition Warps & Waves in the Fabric of Time engages with the interwoven societal and ecological transformations accelerated by industrial modernity.

the work reimagines the moth as a textile motif, a bug in the system, and a messenger of environmental change. Inspired by Danish artist Ragna Braase’s luminous weaving Natsværmere [Moths], Buhl has woven glitched moth mutations on her wooden shaft loom using repurposed silk, conductive copper wire, and linen to tangibly connect the binary logic of computing with the ancient craft of weaving.
