This page from Drawing Papers 74 features “Eleven Excluded”, a paper collage made by Kirstine Roepstorff in 2007.
The 2007 exhibition, It’s Not the Eye of the Needle That Changed–The Time, presented a new body of work by the Berlin-based artist
#KirstineRoepstorff in which the medium of collage was used to confront the tension between political identity and individual desire. Through a working method she called “approprio-arranging,” Roepstorff sews, pins, glues, and weaves together photocopies, fabrics, glitter, paper, and images appropriated from magazines and newspapers, constructing a poetic, post-feminist practice that addressed issues such as consumerism, the failure of the social democratic project, and contemporary gender politics.
The Drawing Papers are a series of publications documenting The Drawing Center’s exhibitions and public programs and providing a forum for the study of drawing. -Kate Robinson, Bookstore Manager
