Rewind 004 | Seth Siegelaub | On Collecting Textiles and Books on Textiles
b'In this lecture included in the international symposium Collecting Textiles, Seth Siegelaub talks about his experience as a collector, tracing the origins of his passion for antique textiles and, above all, for books on textiles. The personal and almost intimate character of his collection is nevertheless moved by the desire to make his work completely accessible, open and alive. He wishes, therefore, to leave his legacy when he will find "the right conditions".\\nSeth Siegelaub then concludes the conference with an excursus dedicated to the historical categories of books on textiles and a critical examination of the current cataloguing of textile items based on their origin.\\n\\n20.09.2012, Archive Fondazione Antonio Ratti'
