Bouthayna Al Muftah, a Qatari multidisciplinary artist, seamlessly navigates painting, printmaking, and documentation. her evolving practice has created immersive installations and dynamic performance pieces anchored in a profound connection to Qatar’s cultural heritage. This heritage, woven from oral history and folklore, becomes a canvas for reinterpretation, reflecting her bond with her homeland’s past and its revival. Bouthayna invites her viewers to contemplate the notion of memory, where she explores time and the perception of it along with our characteristics as a collective society – questioning wether heritage and these memories carry the same symbolism over time. Bouthayna’s work is distinguished by its palette and signature typography.

Fäden, Stoffe und Muster begleiten uns wie selbstverständlich in unserem Alltag. Weltweit prägen textile Begriffe unseren Sprachgebrauch, unsere Erzählungen und Mythen. Wir möchten die große Vielfalt in der Gestaltung von textilen Materialien und den unterschiedlichen Techniken aufzeigen. Für die kommende Ausstellung arbeiten wir mit neuen internationalen Künstlern zusammen. Die Ausstellung wird von unserer Künstlerin Patricia Waller kuratiert, die die Auswahl der eingeladenen Künstler zusammengestellt hat. Neben der Textilkunst werden Holzskulpturen des im letzten Jahr verstorbenen Künstlers Gerhard Kehl zu sehen sein, die in einen Dialog mit den textilen Arbeiten treten werden.

Yarns, fabrics, and patterns are an integral part of our everyday lives. Around the world, textile terms shape our language, our stories, and our myths. We want to highlight the enormous diversity in the design of textile materials and the various techniques used. For that exhibition, we are collaborating with new international artists. The exhibition is curated by our artist Patricia Waller, who selected the invited artists. In addition to textile art, the exhibition will feature wood sculptures by the artist Gerhard Kehl, who passed away last year, which will engage in a dialogue with the textile works.
