Kaucyila Brooke

Tracing Women’s Press, drawings on paper, 2024

Women’s Press was a feminist newspaper published monthly from 1970-1987 in Eugene, Oregon, USA and was one of the first places that Kaucyila Brooke published her photographs in the early 1980’s. While working on her professional archive, Brooke traveled back to Eugene to view the journals in the special collections of the University of Oregon library and discovered humorous and poignant reminders of the anarchist nature of the Eugene Lesbian Feminist community. For this project she reads through Women’s Press and points to random selections that express the DIY ethos typical of that place and era­­­. By tracing these pull quotes in pen and ink drawings she presents an idiosyncratic snapshot of the publication’s collective editorial approach. These drawings cover the walls of Size Matters as a mnemonic and distracted reading of that local history.

Terese Kasalicky

Curtain#2, dyed ropes, 2024

The main focus of many of Terese Kasalicky’s works in the past few years is the rope either in form of curtains or as sculptures in the room. The rope as a common part of our everyday lives. Its main job is to connect, bring together, or weave things—like a living line. Curtain #2 was made especially for the Size Matters exhibition space, it extends the space, shimmers, conceals and reveals. It enters into a dialog with the black and white works of Kaucyila Brooke. In the “Ropes” series, Kasalicky creates modular sculptures using dyed ropes and sometimes curved stainless steel tubes. One of these sculptures, Bending Ropes #2, is currently on display in Gallery 3 in Schleifmühlgasse. Inspired by art history and visual cues, it represents connection and unity, weaving together to create a flowing whole, much like rivers cascading.
