Uittreksel

'Koen Taselaar. Rollable Ramblings' is the first comprehensive publication on the textile work of Koen Taselaar (Rotterdam, 1986). The majority of 'Rollable Ramblings' comprises reproductions of his tapestries, and zoom-ins on them. This visual component is complemented with essays shedding light on the works, and on the history of textile art in general, written by art critic Katalin Herzog. The work of Koen Taselaar is a unique universe in which only he determines the rules. He makes skillful drawings, but also clumsy ceramics and elaborate Tapestries. Taselaar's visual language emerged from the grey area in which text is not only meaning but also form. He expresses this in drawn puns, imaginary record sleeves or large psychedelic paintings. In search of ways to process his diverse output, he makes publications and large scale drawings, which function as flat exhibition spaces. Taselaar is continuously working to further develop his wide scope, for example by learning new techniques in several residencies. Taselaar was nominated for de Volkskrant Beeldende Kunstprijs and has exhibited a.o. at Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, MMCA Changdong in Seoul, Kunstmuseum The Hague, Centraal Museum Utrecht and The State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg.

  • Notities

    • Special edition with original tapestry made by Koen Taselaar: Shellface #7/24 [from the Monetary Shellfaces series] (2021). The tapestry is a jacquard weave, measures 80 x 60 cm and is made from lurex, mohair, acryl and merino wool.
    • To finance the publication, Taselaar designed a series of tapestries with shells as a motif, based on the idea that they once served as a means of payment. These tapestries were made on a computer-controlled Jacquard weaving machine in the Textile Lab of the Textile Museum; There are 12 mirror-image versions of each design, making a total of 24 unique rugs. The tapestry serves as a pouch in which the book can be packaged and stored, but can also be hung as a stand-alone tapestry.
