Re Rag Rug at The Rothko Museum
The Rothko Museum has just opened Re Rag Rug – an awareness-rising exhibition from an experimental textile project by the Swedish creative duo of Katarina Brieditis and Katarina Evans.
The Re Rag Rug exhibition is the tangible outcome of a one-year experimental design project by Studio Brieditis & Evans, a textile atelier run in Stockholm, Sweden, by Katarina Brieditis and Katarina Evans. During the project, the artists challenged themselves to create twelve unique rugs over twelve months in twelve different techniques without using a loom.
From different types of rags obtained from industrial waste and second-hand clothes stores, the artists created twelve new qualities and expressions of rugs with various sewing, plaiting, crocheting, knitting, macramé, rolling, cutting, appliqué, embroidery, structure- and relief effects, three-dimensionality, colour- and dyeing techniques.
