Exhibition

The word caleidoscope in the title of Caviezel's 2023-2024 exhibition at Museum für Gestaltung, Zurich represents the artist's creative process. The optical instrument of the same name was described by its inventor as a tool to observe “beautiful forms''. Like a caleidoscope, the exhibition revealed Caviezel's beautiful textile-based forms, ideas, colours, patterns, materials, commissions and collaborations created between 2003-2023. How her audience perceived the exhibition was unique to each viewer's angle, perspective and experiences.

The museum's 300 square meter exhibition space allowed Caviezel to create site-specific works such as Carpet Carrelage to increase the sensation visitors were inside her atelier observing the artist at work. Work-in-progress spontaneity was created with walls of photos of textile-based works, each held in place by large tape X's at the corners, shelves of yarn spools, carpet benches, boxes full of textile samples from her archive, and original screen-printing tables. All of these came together to create an immersive and insightful experience, and a unique opportunity to discover how the artist finds what lies beyond the “textile edge.”
