It’s Not the Eye of the Needle That Changed–The Time presents a new body of work by the Berlin-based artist Kirstine Roepstorff in which the medium of collage is used to confront the tension between political identity and individual desire. Through a working method she calls “approprio-arranging,” Roepstorff sews, pins, glues, and weaves together photocopies, fabrics, glitter, paper, and images appropriated from magazines and newspapers, constructing a poetic, post-feminist practice that addresses issues such as consumerism, the failure of the social democratic project, and contemporary gender politics. It’s Not the Eye of the Needle That Changed–The Time is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in North America.
