Author: Trockel, Rosemarie
German multimedia artist Rosemarie Trockel (born 1952) rose to fame in the 1980s with her “knitting pictures” made with industrial weaving machines. Both sardonic and uncanny, her constructions always include her own critical and humorous gaze at political structures and social regimes. This is a comprehensive overview of Trockel's oeuvre, featuring works from all creative phases, including works made especially for a recent exhibition at the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt. In her work, Trockel makes definitions, restrictions, paternalism, and violence due to gender visible and transparent. Her "knitting pictures" gained her international fame in the 1980s, in 1999 she was the first woman to exhibit at the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. Working in a variety of media, Trockel directs her sociological gaze both at social regimes and political structures and at nature. While scientifically sound and precise, her observations always include her own critical and sometimes humorous gaze as a vital component as she not only captures but highlights ambivalences.
