Swiss artist Nesa Gschwend, born 1959 in St. Gallen, merges traditional crafts, such as embroidery, knotting, and sewing, with avant-garde and performative artistic techniques. Widely recognized as one of Switzerland's most distinguished contemporary artists, her art also combines craft with philosophy. Her textile works, material collages, videos, installations, and participatory performances transform individual lived stories into tangible metaphors for collective memory, for human existence itself. This new book, published in conjunction with an exhibition at Kunsthalle Ziegelhütte in Appenzell, Switzerland, features recent work by Nesa Gschwend. The essays explore her approach and describe her humanistic aspiration to transform existential questions into aesthetic reflection. Exhibition: Kunsthalle Ziegelhütte Appenzell, Switzerland (17.11.2019 - 15.03.2020).

Knotted Threads presents the artistic dialogue that the Swiss artist Nesa Gschwend has maintained with India over many years. Special emphasis is placed on the search for phenomena that bind and distinguish these cultures and on the artistic exploration of their background. With Knotted Threads the artist brings the two cultural spaces together in striking manners. The book makes it possible to understand the works in terms of a lengthy artistic process, while also offering insight into the compex links, contradictions, friendships and into the opening of new spaces for dialogue that the exchange with India has enabled.
