Title Louise bourgeois: the spider and the tapestries
520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Louise Bourgeois' tapestry and needlepoint work deals with reparation in both a literal and metaphorical sense. In many of the works, fragmented tapestries are pieced together and repaired to create new sculptural forms. The recurring practices of weaving, stitching and mending express Bourgeois' identification with her childhood and the family business of tapestry restoration. Coupled with the medium of tapestry, Bourgeois' recurring motif of the spider symbolizes her mother, a weaver, and fully explores the complex relationship between mother and child. This publication includes archival photographs and facsimile documents from the Bourgeois family archive, as well as excerpts from the artist's psychoanalytical writings. On the occasion of the exhibition 'Louise Bourgeois : l'araignee et les tapisseries', held at Hauser & Wirth, Zürich, June 15 - July 26, 2014
