Ingrid Wiener – Simply Making and Doing

At 83, Austrian artist Ingrid Wiener looks back on a multifaceted body of work: to date, over 40 tapestries have been created, developed through time-consuming manual work. A central focus of Ingrid Wiener’s work is also the interplay of perception, which she explores in her watercolor drawings, in which she captures dreams and memories. The exhibition also showcases her creations in collaborative processes and artistic networks.
