Katrin Niedermeier presents her tapestries Idle Idol Sweat – framed – exclusively at UNPAINTED. This work was inspired by female avatars, which are offered for sale online and are equipped with generic, mostly stereotypical movement sequences and poses. In this work, framed sweaters with differently knitted motifs are shown, which are based on images and digital data of previously purchased digital characters and their fictitious environment and imagery. At the same time, explicit formulations of the receipts, sales slogans and licenses of these acquired female avatars are taken over and translated into knitted matter. These sweaters are now forced into an individual, rigid pose by the handmade wooden frames. Methods of consumer-friendly, automated online software and feedback-like work processes are used in this work and are examined here both formally and for their relevance/ability to produce reality.

Until 11 January 2022, the Haus für Elektronische Künste (HEK) in Basel is showing similar works as merchandising articles entitled “Somehow Clothing” by Katrin Niedermeier – UNPAINTED berichtete.
