Abstract
The 4th Istanbul Design Biennial Wishes You Welcome to Salt Galata and an Exhibition by Emelie Röndahl
Google Weaving Stop time is a collective hand weaving project created by Emelie Röndahl for the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial which is curated by Jan Boelen under the theme “A School of Schools”. The project has brought together weavers from all over the world who has responded to a social media invitation to weave.
The weaving are all based on images from google search for “Textile Labour Turkey”. An image has been selected by each artist and transformed into time consuming hand weaving textiles. The ghiordes knot used in each weaving has been used in traditional textiles for ages in Sweden and Turkey (among many places).
Google Weaving Stop time is overwhelming material encounter that presents a very physical image of textile labor, tradition, tacit knowledge and hand craft. It hopes to evoke questions regarding how much we let Google influence our everyday life and our perception of the world.
