A net woven from my own hair is Naarm Melbourne-based artist Jacqueline Stojanović’s first solo exhibition in Aotearoa. Chez Derriere are pleased to present a publication to accompany the exhibition under the same title.
Stojanović and Laing met in 2017 as artists in residence at The Icelandic Textile Centre in Blönduós, Iceland. Jacqueline’s weaving practice has since developed from small scale weavings into large scale textile installations, exhibited most recently at Haydens in Naarm Melbourne and in Pliable Planes which continues to tour Australia until 2024, featuring collaborative works with the late artist John Nixon.
Stojanović’s practice expands what we might think of as weaving as she is working off the loom. In A net woven from my own hair, she presents a textile installation which approaches the Bauhaus’ architectural principles from a weaver’s sensibilities and draws inspiration from Yugoslav socialist architecture. Stojanović is playing with the idea of the human structures of time and architecture to construct her reality and reflect on a layered identity.
The exhibition will be open Saturday 1st and Saturday 8th of July 10am-2pm and by appointment. Please send Felixe an email to chezderriere@gmail.com if you would like to schedule a time to view and have a tour of the exhibition.
Join Chez Derriere for the exhibition opening on Saturday 24 June 2023. Find all event details here.
