Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada, Berkeley
Ana Lisa Hedstrom, San Francisco
Jorie Johnson, Kyoto
Mary Jaeger, New York
Mascha Mioni, Disla
It is curated by Mascha Mioni and Heiner Graafhuis and lasts from
July 28 to September 8, 2018
The opening takes place on July 28 at 17:00 at the Museum Sursilvan in Trun.
A short musical introduction starts at 15:00 in the monumental open air Sculpture OGNA designed by the Trunser artist Matias Spescha.
Corin Curschellas, who received the Culture Price 2018 of the Canton of Graubuenden, will sing local and international songs.
October to December 2014 Mascha Mioni was Artist in Residence at the JinZe Art Center in Shanghai.
The center has posted on youku, the Chinese youtube, an animated slide-show with photos taken by Pan, the local photographer. (with sound and unfortunately some youku-ads)
The show gives a fast insight into Maschas artistic work on site, her colleagues and the exposition she installed in the newly built dyeing-room.
The works were created with chinese ink and fingerprints of red sealing wax on handmade paper, discarded bamboo-ropes, bricks lying in the court with raw cotton from the local village, an ash-blackened linen mop of the canteen cook and silk paint used in Shibori-technique.
The Nagoya Fashion Contest was accompanied by a shibori-exposition of reknown textile-artists from Australia, China, Europe, Japan and the USA. This work, created with 50m silk in Africa in 2000 was an eye-catcher.
