Claudia Caviezel's Glitch wall hanging, designed especially for the staircase of the Kunstmuseum St.Gallen, is made of luxurious cotton velour and combines analog and digital techniques. The colorful design is reminiscent of screen glitches and reflects the vertical forms of the staircase spindle. The artist has moved Mexican wool blankets called serapes back and forth on a flatbed scanner, generating unexpected image patterns in which the contrasts have been deliberately exaggerated. As visitors climb the stairs, they are immersed in the immersive environment of Glitch. A textile parallel to Pipilotti Rist's The Room (which is an oversized television living room), Glitch invites visitors to experience and direct moving images in a new way. With her intuitive and experimental approach, Claudia Caviezel creates installations that appear spontaneous and lively.
Claudia Caviezel (born 1977 in Zug, lives and works in St.Gallen) inspires with a colorful and versatile oeuvre that is full of surprises. The award-winning textile designer has been combining traditional craftsmanship with digital technologies for over twenty years, demonstrating an extraordinary flair for color and pattern. Her work ranges from household products and fashion for international haute couture to impressive room installations. Prints, jacquards and embroideries designed by her for a renowned Swiss luxury fashion house have been used in Vivienne Westwood garments and worn by celebrities such as Michelle Obama.
Her awards include the Swiss Grand Prix Design (2016), the solo exhibition Claudia Caviezel: Caleidoscope at the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich (2023-2024) and an Atelier Flex scholarship for a three-month stay in Japan, awarded by the Cultural Commission of the Canton of Zug, Switzerland (2024).
Series Big Screen
Claudia Caviezel's textile intervention is the third design for the stairwell in the Big Screen series. The metal frame, which was originally created for Jean Tinguely's ballet curtain (a loan that was withdrawn a long time ago), has been reinterpreted by contemporary artists every year since 2023. Following Tschabalala Self (2023) and Jessica Diamond (2024), Claudia Caviezel's work in 2025 is another highlight in this exciting series.
