Follow the Thread

With Viki Berg, Erik Mikaia, Hyun-Jin Kim, and Sofia Magdits

The exhibition Follow the Thread brings together four international artists, each engaging with the material and ornamental dimensions of textiles in their own unique way. The starting point for all four artists is the integration of various working methods with textiles in contemporary art. Their focus is on the material composition and design language of the works, which are inspired by nature, culture, and tradition. On display will be tufted carpets, canvases embroidered with yarn, collectively woven tapestries, and chemically treated fabrics, some of which are specifically designed for the unique tunnel architecture of KIT. As an everyday and familiar medium, textiles can convey the local ideas, stories, and traditions of the artists in a global context. The exhibition will explore the journeys and connections enabled by the textile network at KIT.

The exhibition is curated by Jessica Gilles.
