The 'MODELO DEL MES OCTUBRE 2025' exhibition highlights the work of Aurèlia Muñoz, focusing on a cape created in 1978 and a poster from 1986. Aurèlia Muñoz (1926-2011) was a pioneering Spanish textile artist known for her innovative approach to macramé, sisal, and jute fibers. The cape, titled 'Capa amb ales' (Cape with wings), exemplifies her monumental textile sculptures, exploring themes of historical fashion, particularly medieval cloaks, and translating them into contemporary artistic forms. The poster, designed for an exhibition of her work in 1986, reflects her later exploration into paper art and graphic design. The exhibition places Muñoz's work within the broader context of textile art's recognition as a significant contemporary medium and her role as a bridge between traditional crafts and avant-garde expression. The text details her technical experimentation, from early printed fabrics and patchwork to macramé and later paper-based creations, and her international recognition. It also touches upon the broader context of women artists in contemporary art and the valorization of textile and craft-based practices.
