Felt is fashionable. Since the 1980s, not only couturiers and designers, but artists as well have again become more interested in felt. The present publication for the first time provides a thrilling survey of current creative activities which may be based equally on Joseph Beuys as on ethnological traditions. It is felt as a medium, or frequently the felting process itself, what dominates the artistic message of many works. Artists like Inge Evers or Claudia Merx, for instance, develop their images directly from felting techniques. Others may be more interested in the sculptural potential of felt or explore its material characteristics like Erich Köster, who turns felt into a stiff material, from which he saws technoid' structures, or Ulrike Hau, who makes weapon-shaped felt objects. There are also artists who are attracted by felt's resemblance to skin and thus its connectedness with the body, for example Célio Braga, who considers the body in terms of its vulnerability and frailty. Together with such artistic interpretations, the book illustrates to use of felt in fashion and design. A comprehensive survey of what artists make of felt at the beginning of the 21st century, recorded in captivating illustrations accompanied by texts illuminating the fascination of felt and its significance in contemporary art and design.
