Feminist In-Action. Ingrid Wiener’s Tapestry Collaborations
Get PDFThere is a tendency in recent art history to see artistic practice as aligning with political activism, and artists who are women as making feminist art. VALIE EXPORT, the paradigmatic “woman artist” in this regard, encapsulated this position in her formulation of Feminist Actionism. This paper draws out a complementary tendency exhibited in the work of Ingrid Wiener that I call feminist in-action. In contrast with the confrontational practices of many of her contemporaries, Wiener’s tapestry collaborations with Dieter Roth present long-drawn-out performances of withdrawal. Her weaving explores a relational and dependent view of both artistic practice and the self. Refusing the feminist-actionist’s arsenal of assertive gestures, Wiener picks apart the conventions of highwarp Gobelins tapestry weaving in order to attend to an immanent and intimate, sometimes frayed, sometimes touching, space of correspondence. Wiener’s tapestry collaborations with Roth thus articulate an alternative textile politics as a politics of care

Working outside the gallery and occupying public space, these artists confront the viewer with a counter-practice of textile intervention. But how to describe the subversive potential of these works appropriating a traditional needlework? I will focus my discussion on the project SOLANGE by Katharina Cibulka to discuss the aesthetic, spatial and discursive strategies that inform her art practice as feminist practice. Additionally, I refer to recent transformations in the political discourse of feminist art, including the concept of collectivity in contemporary ar

Visible Mending celebrates old household practices as an environmentally friendly alternative in the age of fast fashion (Rodabaugh 2018; Wilding Cardon 2018). It appears as art in galleries or museums or as activism in the form of political consumerism. Described as a way to slow down fast fashion (Clark 2008; Fletcher 2012), its purpose as art or everyday object is to display the aesthetics of aging clothing and the agency of consumers. The article presents artworks and practices from a historical class and gender perspective to understand todays meanings as artistic or activist intervention in everyday life
