Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern, Switzerland
November 7, 2025–February 22, 2026
The Zentrum Paul Klee presents Anni Albers: Constructing Textiles, an exhibition focusing on the connection between textile and architecture in Albers’s oeuvre. With her deep understanding of material and its applications, Albers’s enormous influence as a designer, theorist and innovator in the field of textiles is highly relevant with our present-day challenges regarding energy and material resources.
Anni Albers emigrated to the United States in 1933, establishing herself as a weaver, textile designer and visual artist. Aside from her painterly woven works, which can be seen as autonomous art works, Albers devoted herself to the development of new textiles for buildings and interior spaces, so-called “utility objects.” She viewed weaving as the most progressive form of modern architectural thought.
Anni Albers: Constructing Textiles was curated by Fabienne Eggelhöfer and Brenda Danilowitz. The exhibition was a collaboration between the Zentrum Paul Klee, Bern, and the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, Bethany CT, in collaboration with ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum.
