MARCOS KUEH

In Borneo, people wove their myths and stories into textiles, to convey certain morals and values. Marcos Kueh
sees his practice as a contemporary version of this. His work deals with postcolonialism and researches which
stories we want to preserve. He uses techniques from various Southeast Asian countries and combines them with
thorough knowledge of every machine he uses, with his experience in all kinds of weaving looms, and designs
and develops his own textiles. This is how Marcos makes invisible gods, spirits and ideas visible, so that we start
thinking about their relevance. The question he asks his audience: Do you just see beautiful textiles? Or are you
really listening?
