Beschreibung
Textile resistance: International artists show how knot, warp and weft can become political. What makes rugs, carpets, and tapestries as a form of engaging with resistance interesting to artists? This publication presents textile artworks from the past 25 years by artists who deal with individual forms of resistance - to discrimination, racism, trauma, and ecocide. Centuries-old textile practices are brought into dialogue with contemporary techniques and concepts. In these artworks, the utilitarian, decorative, and spiritual aspects of a rug, carpet, or tapestry are re-interpreted, opening up discourses on the established hierarchies between applied and fine art, whose relationship they redefine.
