Emblematic works by the Belgian-Polish sculptor and textile artist produced in the 1970s, revealing Tapta’s attention to the tactility of her materials, the suppleness of structures, individual and collective practice, and the interaction between artwork, space, and viewer. This publication originates from the eponymous exhibition at WIELS, Brussels (2023). Through photographic views, the reader is invited to visually (re)visit the exhibition and (re)discover the “supple sculptures” by the Polish Belgian artist Tapta (1926–1997) and new works by Greet Billet, Hana Mileti, and Richard Venlet, which were inspired by Tapta’s practice and made specifically, or adapted, for the exhibition. Tapta (Maria Wierusz-Kowalski, 1926-1997) was a Belgian sculptor of Polish origin, whose influential work helped radically redefine sculpture by using textiles and other flexible materials as sculptural elements, and diversify textile creation beyond the categories of the decorative and the artisanal, paving the way for multidisciplinary research. Tapta came to Belgium as a political refugee with her husband, Christoph, after taking part in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. She studied fine art and weaving at the National School for Advanced Visual Arts La Cambre, Brussels, from which she graduated in 1949. Shortly afterwards, the couple moved to the Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), where they lived from 1950 to 1960. After returning to Belgium, Tapta swiftly established herself as one of the most important members of a new generation of artists, who sought to redefine sculpture by using textiles and other flexible materials as sculptural elements. In doing so, she simultaneously took textile art beyond the categories of ornament and craft.

Written by one of the twentieth century’s leading textile artists, this splendidly illustrated book is a luminous meditation on the art of weaving, its history, its tools and techniques, and its implications for modern design. First published in 1965, On Weaving bridges the transition between handcraft and the machine-made, highlighting the essential importance of material awareness and the creative leaps that can occur when design problems are tackled by hand.With her focus on materials and handlooms, Anni Albers discusses how technology and mass production place limits on creativity and problem solving, and makes the case for a renewed embrace of human ingenuity that is particularly important today. Her lucid and engaging prose is illustrated with a wealth of rare and extraordinary images showing the history of the medium, from hand-drawn diagrams and close-ups of pre-Columbian textiles to material studies with corn, paper, and the typewriter, as well as illuminating examples of her own work.Now available for a new generation of readers, this expanded edition of On Weaving updates the book’s original black-and-white illustrations with full-color photos, and features an afterword by Nicholas Fox Weber and essays by Manuel Cirauqui and T’ai Smith that shed critical light on Albers and her career.
