Theresa Weber

We welcome back Theresa Weber @therrytail for an artist talk in conversation with director and curator Agnieszka Kilian @ag_kilian today at 15:00 at @bgsw.slupsk Ustka! Last day of the show COALITION OF WATERS is tomorrow 16th of November. 🌊 🌊 🌊 Theresa Weber’s compositions interlace micro- and macro-perspectives, opening up new ways of looking at the world – always relational, like a nested, layered story. Old cartographies depict shipping trade lines and the ocean currents encircling the globe. As fragmented elements they refer to different models of thought: both European and those of other cultures, which had established connections long before the so-called Age of Discovery. Through juxtapositions of diverse materials, the artist seeks to construct a fluid relationship with the world, expressing the dissolve between the human body and its geographic terrain. The volumetric surfaces inhabit rituals imbedded in crafts, and the material memory in the object. The use of blue clay and collected driftwood transforms into a watery realm, endowed with its own agency. This motif of fluidity is rooted in the ecofeminist thought of Suzanne Césaire, whose writings inspired Weber’s collages. Césaire’s surrealist essays were filled with vivid metaphors that explored the boundless potential of environmental transformation and resilience.

The works in the exhibition open new portals—toward spirit, memory, myth, and philosophical knowledge. These works invite viewers to pause, to listen—to imagine that time is not yet fully written and that understanding is still unfolding. They call for presence, openness, and trust. They are not declarations—they are doorways: quiet thresholds for reflection, attunement, and the possibility of deeper insight. Theresa Weber creates rich, symbol-filled environments that function as sacred archives. Her works blend Afro-diasporic iconography with science, forming ritual spaces where ancestral, futuristic, and mythic energies converge—portals of remembrance and projection.

EFFORT + FLOW Jan 16 - March 29 @kunsthallebarmen The exhibition “effort + flow – Mathematics and Art in Exchange” is a collaboration with the DFG-funded Collaborative Research Center Port-Hamiltonian Systems, which explores fundamental models for energy flows and dynamic interactions at the interface of mathematics, engineering, and physics. For the first time, these theoretical concepts are being related to artistic works and simultaneously used as inspiration for creative and artistic research. It focuses on works that reflect on principles of mathematical modeling: energy circulating in objects and environments; forces that couple and feed back; fields that organize, oscillate, or seek equilibrium; and interfaces where systems meet. Artists: Victoria di Bello, Attila Csörgő, Katja Davar, Fischli/Weiss, Sabrina Fritsch, Aaron Göke, Philip Gröning, Theo Jansen, Tanja Kodlin, Maximilian Petzold, Martin Pfeifle, Thomas Rentmeister, the "Drawbots" seminar by architecture students at BUW (Prof. Holger Hoffmann, Heiner Verhaeg), students of Interactive Media Design at BUW (Prof. Kristian Wolf, Juliane Ahn), and Theresa Weber

Para #LGBT3, Theresa Weber propuso una obra que representaba el cuerpo carnavalesco. La artista entiende el carnaval caribeño como un espacio global, nómada y sin fronteras: una celebración de la belleza, la individualidad y la reinvención, atravesada por una tradición de protesta y liberación. Theresa Weber "Woven Bodies" [Cuerpos Tejidos] 2025 "Woven Bodies" es una escultura y objeto interactivo con potencial performativo que simboliza el cuerpo como una red infinita y flexible, siempre vinculada a su colectividad y contexto. Weber se inspira en el concepto del "homme-plant" de Suzanne Césaire, que entiende la existencia humana como parte de la tierra, así como en la noción del rizoma desarrollada por Édouard Glissant, quien lo describe como una red dinámica que conecta las vidas de las diásporas en oposición a la raíz única asociada al nacionalismo. En este sentido, el vestuario aparece como una manifestación visual de la criollización: siempre cambiante, siempre ligada al pasado. La pieza está compuesta por partes de prendas de vestir extendidas con textiles trenzados y anudados, combinadas con elementos de joyería como anillos, cuentas y broches entretejidos en los detalles. Estos adornos, cargados de memoria material, evocan rituales artesanales y sensaciones de nostalgia y alegría. Los vestuarios viajan entre espacios expositivos y performances, transformándose constantemente y adoptando nuevas formas en cada activación. #TheresaWeber #LaGranBienalTropical #LGBT3 #BienalTropical @therrytail 1 4 5 📷️ @perezpuig Pieza activada por la artista junto a Sofía del Mar Collins @gota_delmar 2 3 📷️ @therrytail

#ArtistSpotlight Theresa Weber @therrytail ✨ Theresa Weber presents three new relief paintings in the exhibition #Lineages at October Gallery, London. Each canvas reflects her conceptual exploration of the ever-shifting nexus of identity, bringing together cultural, historical and mythological references. Inspired by the ecofeminist writing of Suzanne Césaire, Weber sees these new works as abstract infinity landscapes that deal with the dissolution between the human body and its geographical terrain. They connect to the resilience found in the Caribbean landscape and its population, which, although shaken by catastrophic natural forces, has the strength to bounce back. These works connect to her wider ‘cartographies’ series, in which richly layered surfaces incorporate silicone, acrylic paste, modelling mass, resin and print. Across these dense collages, Weber inlays acrylic nails and beads as empowering jewellery elements. Together, the works map the intersectional body from a decolonial perspective, resisting Western notions of the grid and linear time in favour of organic form, energy fields and circular temporality as acts of resistance. _______________ Images: Theresa Weber at October Gallery, London.
