Still a weekend remaining to see the magnificent exhibition Every tangle of thread and rope, of the Polish artist Magdalena Abakanowicz, (1930- 2017) at the Tate Modern, London. The woman who started her career weaving tapestry in Communist Poland, and one day moved her piece off the walls, into three dimensional spaces, creating enormous, ambiguous forms made from thread and rope, hanging from the ceiling. Pieces which nobody could properly describe, and the critics needed to create a word for it. Ever since, her abakans – a homage to her creator – make their ways into the most important galleries and art forums around the world. By the XXI century her sculptures took the public spaces while the abakans continued creating the “situations” and the “environments” Abakanowicz so clearly explains in the videos accompanying the exhibit.

Every tangle of thread and rope, organised by Tate Modern in collaboration with the Foundation Toms Pauli at the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne/Plateforme 10 and Henie Onstad Art Centre, Høvikodden will close on Sunday, but continue its itinerary to other European cities. If you can, do not miss it. These abakans are really something magnificent.
