Museum Acquisition

We are proud and delighted to share the news that the Musée des Arts Décoratif has acquired our rug Off Pist! 

MUSEUM ACQUISITION MUSÉE DES ARTS DÉCORATIFS Studio Brieditis & Evans, Off Piste, 2013/2015. Chain stitch tapestry made from recycled T-shirts. Cotton, 204 x 293 cm Galerie Maria Wettergren is delighted to announce that the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, has acquired the chain stitch rug Off Piste by Swedish textile artist duo, Studio Brieditis & Evans. This pioneering work, handmade from recycled cotton T-shirts, is now officially part of the French National Collections and is currently presented in the exhibition "Ten Years / Design. 10 Years of Acquisitions by the Cercle of Design" on show at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris from 23 June to 24 December 2022. STUDIO BRIEDITIS & EVANS Off Piste was part of Studio Brieditis & Evans' experimental Re Rag Rug project which began in 2012, exploring the social and ecological sustainability of the rug. Studio Brieditis & Evans' objective for this project was to make twelve different tapestries and rugs using various techniques with one thing in common: All of them were made from recycled textiles, such as cotton t-shirts, wool sweaters and tweed jackets. Since 2001, Katarina Brieditis and Katarina Evans have dedicated themselves to textile art with social and ethical dimensions. The idea of sustainability is key to Brieditis & Evans who through their mastery of craft, show how a traditionally common material can gain nobility and artistic value through exquisite craftsmanship, creating works and manual techniques that can be practiced by textile cultures without access to machines.

10-årsjubileum för Galleri Maria Wettergren i Paris

Den här hösten firar Galleri Maria Wettergren 10-årsjubileum. 

Det firas med nya lokaler i hjärtat av Saint-Germain-des-Près à Paris och utställningen Nouvelle Vague och en katalog med konstnärerna galleriet representerar. 

Länk till hela utställningskatalogen.

Galerie Maria Wettergren is delighted to present you the digital publication Nouvelle Vague. Scandinavian Art & Design 1999 - 2020, a richly illustrated survey of contemporary Scandinavian milestone works that have contributed to redefining the international art and design scene over the past twenty years. Among the twenty-one artists included are Mathias Bengtsson, Ilkka Suppanen, Astrid Krogh, Grethe Sørensen, Cecilie Bendixen, Rasmus Fenhann and Tora Urup, whose works range from the most advanced technology to those inspired by traditional craftsmanship in the fields of limited edition furniture design, textile art, sculpture and lighting. While with a radical departure, these contemporary artists maintain a strong connection to their cultural roots, with references to the DNA of Scandinavian design. Their interdisciplinary research into possible expressions related to various materials and techniques seem to echo the Bauhaus school and the thinking of Walter Gropius: Architects, painters, sculptors, we must all return to crafts! For there is no such thing as “professional art”.

Galerie Maria Wettergren på Design Miami/ Basel

From Hong Kong to Design Miami/Basel 2017

Archipelago, just back from the exhibition at HKDI in Hong Kong, is now on its way to Basel.

We are proud to be represented by Galerie Maria Wettergren, participation at the Design Miami/Basel 2017.

Galerie Maria Wettergren is excited to announce its participation at the Design Miami/Basel 2017 with a new selection of sculptural works by contemporary Scandinavian designers. By privileging an interdisciplinary dialogue between design, art, crafts and technology, Galerie Maria Wettergren presents a selection of hybrid works oscillating between sculptural refinement and architectural poignancy.
Galerie Maria Wettergren will be highlighting conceptually and technically innovating pieces, in which the DNA of a material or concept is sublimated for the sake of sculptural form through various crafts processes; with a social dimension in the wall tapestry Archipelago by Studio Brieditis & Evans, a handmade cross-stitch embroidery made from recycled T-shirts;
