Synopsis

A comprehensive survey of Tapta's oeuvre, spanning from her earlier textile works to her late neoprene works.

Installed in a loosely chronological order, the exhibition will give an overview of Tapta's oeuvre, which is mainly divided into two "periods": the textile works made in the 1960s until the early 1980s and the works in neoprene from the 1980s to 1990s.

The exhibition first focuses on Tapta's textile works, in which she steadily distanced herself from traditional weaving by applying experiment

À propos de l?auteur

Tapta (the pseudonym of Maria Wierusz-Kowalska, born Maria Irena Boyé) was born in Poland in 1926 and came to Belgium as a political refugee with her husband, Krzysztof, after taking part in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944. She studied weaving at the La Cambre National School of Visual Arts, Brussels, from where she graduated in 1949. Shortly afterwards, the couple moved to the Belgian Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo), where they lived from 1950 to 1960. On their return to Belgium in 1960, until her sudden death in 1997, she worked in Brussels as an artist and―from 1976 until 1990―as a professor at La Cambre.
