About Kiki Smith and the exhibition

“Woven Worlds” includes over 50 artworks by Kiki Smith, featuring both jacquard weavings and their originals, detailed drawings up to three meters high, and small sculptures. The presentation in Malmö features “Sperm piece” from 1991, which is part of the Moderna Museet’s collection. The work includes more than 700 glass pieces covering the floor.

Kiki Smith’s motifs direct our interest towards nature. Close studies are mixed with fairy-tale fantasies as threadbare wolves, fragile butterflies, and dark bats take centre stage in her tapestries. Kiki Smith, born in 1954 in Germany and raised in the USA, has repeatedly worked with the body and our inner selves. In “Woven Worlds,” we encounter an artist who has turned her gaze outward, placing the relationship with animals and nature at the forefront.

“Woven Worlds” is made in close collaboration with the artist and initiated by Arp Museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, Germany.
