Some Kind of Duty features all new handmade weavings by
Chicago-based artist Karolina Gnatowski, known as kg. In monumental
and small-scale tapestries, kg, anAmerican artist who was born in
Poland incorporates references ranging from Polish immigration,
badminton, Jim Morrison, and feminist fiber artists to addiction,
mourning, and their pet. The artist's keen attention to the details
of life's coincidences and moments of intersection finds a fitting
form in their reverence for the history of tapestry weaving, and
the evidence of everyday life incorporated into the artist's work
makes their weavings an offering to those both living and dead.
This catalog accompanies an exhibition at the DePaul Art Museum,
and it features full-color plates of the works on view, an
interview between the artist and DPAM Director and Chief Curator
Julie Rodrigues Widholm, an essay by K. L. H. Wells, assistant
professor in the Department of Art History at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and poems written by the artist to accompany
each work.
