A new series of carpets curated by Dr. Cornelia Lauf for Equator Production, in a project managed by GoldenRuler, Rome (goldenruler.eu) is included, in addition to Equator’s roster of artists. A selection of carpets recently shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland in the exhibition, Wall to Wall: Carpets by Artists will be included.

Devoted to producing artists’ carpets in limited editions, Equator Production was founded in Brussels by Petra and Ranbir Singh, together with art impresario Reiner Opoku in 1985. In 2014, after a hiatus, a journey to Nepal, Petra Singh decided to revive the studio in full. Equator Production collaborates with artists who incorporate their practice into the larger narrative of artistic historical evidence, blurring the domains of art, design, and craftsmanship.

By commissioning carpet designs from contemporary international artists and orchestrating the execution and production of designs in limited editions by traditional weavers, Equator Productions seeks to fuse both artistic processes, creating a long lost symbiosis between conception and production. The Interior and The Carpets showcases these essential connections and captures the evolution of Equator Production.
