Rosemarie Trockel
Made in Western Germany Blue (2), 1990
These weavings by Rosemarie Trockel turn our focus on the levels of labour and production. Traditionally weaving has been understood as a female practice. Trockel reflects on this, by putting weaving on a global backdrop, using the english phrase “Made in Western Germany”. The weavings do not only connect us with her artistic work, but also with the manual labour of the tibetan weavers, who produced them. By doing so they fluctuate between a piece of art and a daily commodity.
