Beskrivning av projektet
Emelie Röndahl’s solo exhibition Weaving Labour at the Barometer Gallery was part of the inaugural 2017 Sydney Craft week, an initiative of the Australian Design Centre. The exhibition invitation provided an opportunity to exhibit internationally Röndahl’s practice-based research in hand-weaving, which investigates low resolution pictures in fluffy overgrown pixels woven in a traditional manner with wool-piles on a linen warp can raise difficult questions about textile production and child labour. To accompany the exhibition, Röndahl and Jessica Hemmings delivered a public talk at Barometer Gallery about the exhibition, contemporary craft practices in Scandinavia and artistic research at HDK.
