Hannah Ryggen: Weaving the World
Hannah Ryggen: Weaving the world is the first large scale presentation of the artist available in English. It includes works from her entire oeuvre, with an emphasis on tapestries from the 1930s pertaining to her political and social engagement.During the past few years the tapestries of Hannah Ryggen have been widely acclaimed. In 2012 six of her principal tapestries from the 1930s were exhibited at dOCUMENTA (13) in Kassel where they received much attention.Ryggen's tapestries appear as visual reactions to global political issues as well as small scale trials and incidents. Her approach can be associated with modern history painting in the tradition of Goya and Manet. The works are furthermore characterized by a genuine craftsmanship and a desire to communicate directly with the viewer.Published on the occasion of the exhibition Hannah Ryggen: Weaving the world at Nasjonalmuseet, Oslo (12 June - 4 October 2015), and at Moderna Museet, Malmö (31 October 2015 - 6 March 2016).English and Norwegian text.

Harald Sohlberg
