註釋Contemporary Visual Communication in a Historic Weaving Technique. Margret Eicher's (b. Viersen, Germany, 1955; lives and works in Berlin) large-format tapestries combine the baroque form of the woven picture with familiar motifs excerpted from contemporary media images. She digitizes her sources and then assembles them in painstaking editing work on the computer. The resulting 'media tapestries' occupy the interface between the traditional work of art as a physical object and the electronic noise of the digital realm: two worlds that at first glance would seem to be incompatible yet find themselves in harmonious union in Eicher's art. In "Göttliche Liebe (Divine Love)", for example, Caravaggio's "Crowning with Thorns" meets a kissing gay couple from a pro-tolerance campaign in Berlin, while Botticelli's "Birth of Venus" is sampled together with a subway station in Frankfurt. In conceptual art production, the creative idea is central and its realization becomes secondary; in a final twist, "Lob der Malkunst (Praise of Painting)" elects this practice as its artistic lodestar.
