Carpets are one of the main tourist products of Istanbul. After all, Turkey is a country with a long tradition of creating this piece of furniture. And, although they do not go to Tula with their samovar, Dutch artists from the Muurbloem art studio brought to Istanbul your understanding of carpets. They carried out their project there "Sand Carpets"creating real carpet with sand pattern On him.
The art of making carpets in our time has transformed from traditional to experimental. An example of this is the collective blog of the creators of unusual carpets We Make Carpets, a prayer rug drawn with a ballpoint pen, and home rugs from Google Earth. And the Dutch art studio Muurbloem created a carpet with a sand pattern as part of Istanbul Design Week 2011.
Istanbul Design Week is a major forum where designers from different parts of the planet Earth can meet, present their work to each other, communicate, share their experience and their ideas about design. This forum is especially valuable because designers from the Western and Eastern world intersect in it, because Turkey is a bridge between these worlds, and Istanbul itself is located simultaneously in Europe and Asia.
The result of this event is the mutual penetration of cultures. An unusual design work called Sand Carpets, created as part of Istanbul Design Week 2011 by the art studio Muurbloem from the Netherlands, is one of the clearest examples of this cultural diffusion. The members of this studio took a plain carpet woven using traditional Turkish technology and painted a pattern on it using sand.
The disadvantage of such sandy patterns is one - they quickly collapse. But there are many advantages. First, the ability to create them stimulates people to be creative. Secondly, you can change the patterns on the carpet almost every day. And, thirdly, having a carpet with sandy patterns, you very much feel how time passes, how quickly everything changes around. Very philosophical carpets are obtained!
