Sergio Roger (born in 1982 in Barcelona, Spain) is a contemporary artist based in Barcelona. His work focuses on the reinterpretation of ancient art through the creation of elaborate textile sculptures and installations. Through his practice, he questions preconceived ideas of the past as constructed and reinforced by Western museography, proposing alternative readings that challenge hegemonic narratives, permanence, and historical certainty. The artist’s work is driven by an interest in combining technical mastery with conceptual and philosophical inquiry. His practice aims to explore profound existential themes from a contemporary perspective. He is particularly engaged with the interplay of memory, collective identity, and the notion of the sacred throughout art history, as well as the integration of universal myths with personal and autobiographical narratives.

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.
