“Austrian Frieze” and “Pod Worlds” at Schlossmuseum Linz (2023)<\/p><\/div>\n

An exhibition of the Crochet Coral Reef<\/em>\u00a0is on show at Schlossmuseum Linz \u00a0<\/a>which also debutes a new Austrian Satellite Reef.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Over 100,000 hours of female labor; 30,000 coral pieces; and 2,000 contributors. The Austrian Satellite Reef is a mistress-ful retort to the modernist obsession with \u201cindividual genius.\u201d Here is art collectively produced on a scale rarely seen in the contemporary world, and dynamically illustrating mathematical underpinnings of textile craft.<\/em><\/p>\n

For this installation, Christine Wertheim and Margaret Wertheim<\/a> collaborated with Schlossmuseum Linz to design a suite of crochet reefs based on Upper Austrian folk-art traditions. 2,000 people contributed to this intense, sparkling installation which includes a vast coral Frieze \u2013 <\/em>7 meters wide x 2 meters high. All contributors names are projected on the gallery walls and can be seen here<\/a>. Also on show is a freshly curated selection of Crochet Reefs by the Wertheim sisters, and the remarkable coral ‘wall painting’ Five Fathoms Deep<\/em>, from the Baden Baden Satellite Reef<\/em><\/a>, co-created with the Wertheim’s in Germany at Museum Frieder Burda<\/a> and containing coral pieces by 4,000 people across the German speaking world.<\/p>\n

Exhibition dates:<\/strong> October 5, 2023 \u2013 April 2, 2024\/\/Now extended by popular demand to July 7,2024.<\/p>\n
