Abstract [en]
This essay is structured around three works carried out between the period 2010–2012 whilst studying at the Textile Department of Konstfack. In order to point out the different aspects and questions my working practice revolved around during this time, I discuss each in juxtaposition with conceptual paintings by Jutta Koether and a sculpture by Donald Judd, Richard Deacon and Mike Kelley, respectively.
In the first part, I provide a description concerning how working with found second-hand and commercial, prefabricated fabrics involves ambiguous aspects of originality and authorship, and how a printed fabric, as material, can be suspended between the fine art context and a ‘commercial-domestic’ context. Furthermore, I introduce two terms utilised throughout the course of the essay: ‘already-made’ by critic Mark Prince, and ‘de-gridded’, as coined by artist Jutta Koether.
The second chapter discusses whether or not a patterned, printed fabric can be successfully employed according to Judd’s minimalistic strategies of literalism, non-composition and repetition; this is done on the concrete example of a series of collages made during the spring of 2011.
Lastly, my most recent work is added to this discussion which, besides stressing the literalness of a printed fabric, actively investigates different strategies of presenting my textile collages.
