A creative process based on known European tapestry artists, this project was launched by the Budapest-based Ildikó Dobrányi Foundation in conjunction with the Hungarian Cultural Institute in Brussels. As a result of it, the work Web of Europe, an unusual, jointly woven tapestry from the twentieth-first century, has been made for the period of Hungary’s presidency of the European Union, namely for the first six months of 2011. The work will be on display to the general public at the Musées Royaux d’Art et d’Histoire in Brussels from 20 May until 14 August 2011 and later on, in the autumn of 2011, at the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest. It has never been a secret that the intention of this initiative is to direct attention, on a European scale, to the art of woven tapestry, which is not simply a part of our common European heritage meriting esteem and preservation, but also, simultaneously, a living, inspirational cultural medium, an exciting genre of contemporary art capable of ongoing renewal.
