Textura is an international transdisciplinary project by West Den Haag that approaches art from a philosophical and theoretical perspective. Philosophy is not used as an explanation of art, but as a method for questioning existing concepts, shifting boundaries and inviting new insights. The starting point for Textura 2026 is the concept of ‘worlding’, with a particular focus on the work of philosopher Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.
The title Textura refers to the Latin word for fabric or structure, which is at the root of the project’s curatorial starting point. Each contribution is deliberately presented as an autonomous practice, while the encounters, resonances and tensions between the different works and disciplines create the coherence of the project.
With works by Lila Maria de Coninck, Ael Diet, Fabianna Flores Sanchez, Hara Ghan, Lawrence McGuire, Omid Nemalhabib, Soyun Park, Anna Schmitz & Wiebke Stadtlander.

About West Testforum
West shows contemporary art in the former American embassy (designed by Marcel Breuer) in the heart of The Hague museum district. West, as an art institute, focuses on the most relevant international developments in the field of the visual arts. West offers artists space and opportunities to develop new work in a social context by situating it in a wider dialogue. Lectures, presentations, performances and discussions underpin the exhibition policy with a theoretical basis. A series of brochures, documentaries and the website complete the activities that bring the different aspects of West together.
