OTEGEM, BELGIUM.- Mark Deweer, founder of both DEWEER gallery and a carpet factory, merged the two passions that defined his life and created ʻArt of the Loomʼ, a stunning collection of 32 exclusive tapestries designed by 14 internationally acclaimed artists. The concept of this show aims at more than just the display of the entire collection. It puts the ʻArt of the Loomʼ project into perspective. The carpets are shown in relationship with new and rarely shown works of art by all artists who were crucial to the ʻArt of the Loomʼ project and to the galleryʼs intriguing history. The exhibition concept is quite experimental. With diverse aspects of homeliness as a starting point, a context is created in which the ʻArt of the Loomʼ tapestries function as associative elements, works of art and objects at the same time. The show consists of 15 more or less autonomous installations,
