The Tapestries of Dieter Roth Ingrid Wiener You Can Also Weave What You Do Not See

Between 1974 and 1998, the legendarily prolific, contrarian and super-experimental printmaker and mixed-media artist Dieter Roth worked with Austrian artist Ingrid Wiener (and initially also Valie Export) to produce five woven wall tapestries-presented here together for the first time, alongside 25 years worth of drawings, photographs, letters and "flat trash" like receipts and packing material. The tapestries can be interpreted in many ways. Whether seen through the lens of concept and implementation or idea and interpretation, they portray private lives and everyday objects while also making communication concrete. They supply narratives "woven" in time. They are witnesses to an artistic process. And, of course, they are symbols of an especially powerful joint creativity.
