“Baden Satellite Reef” at Museum Frieder Burda, Germany 2022.
To celebrate the glorious new book about the Crochet Coral Reef project – Margaret and Christine Wertheim: Value and Transformation of Corals – join us for a talk and signing hosted by Artbooks @Hauser & Wirth Bookstore in downtown Los Angeles. Margaret will present a visual overview of the project, followed by a Q+A and book signing.
Event date/time: Saturday Dec. 10, 2022, 3pm
Venue: Hauser & Wirth Bookstore, Los Angeles, hosted by Artbooks
Address: 917 East 3rd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013.
The book is published in conjunction with a major retrospective of the Crochet Coral Reef project at Museum Frieder Burda in Baden Baden, Germany. Containing essays about the scientific, mathematical, environmental, feminist, and artistic dimensions of this world-wide, fiber-arts happening, the volume is lavishly illustrated with 200 photos including documentation of the extraordinary new Baden Baden Satellite Reef, the largest community reef to date, with over 40,000 coral pieces. The event coincides with an exhibition at Hauser & Wirth gallery of new generation quilts inspired by and in homage to the legendary Gee’s Bends quilters, who were also one of the inspirations for the Crochet Coral Reef’s radical re-imagining of collaborative, intergenerational, female craft practice.
