Mutual Art : Kiki Smith, Woven Worlds

Kiki Smith: Woven Worlds Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, REMAGEN | GERMANY

FEB 21, 2024 - OCT 20, 2024

The US-American Kiki Smith (*1954) is among the most influential feminist artists of her generation, and has been an important voice in the international art world since the 1980s.

This exhibition, organized in close collaboration with the artist, brings together approximately 50 works, central among them her large-format, woven wall tapestries. This series displays plants and animals, celestial entities and bodies of water, as well as Adam and Eve as biblical archetypes, interwoven into a narrative that draws upon the Story of Creation. With great urgency and poetic clarity, these strikingly designed multicolored tapestries – with silver threads, hand-painted, and finished with gold leaf – unite timeless validity with our immediate present.

Besides the tapestries, sculptures, small and large format drawings, copper intaglio prints, photographs, and collages reveal the complex creation process that is characteristic of the artist’s work.
