Textile festival in the small at the Gallery Zône
"People crave for a little culture"
In an interview on May 10, 2021 with Laura Heerlien of the newspaper Leidsch Dagblatt textile artist Dorothy Wedderburn says:
"... For example, we show the Swiss Mascha Mioni with her Kundalini Snake. She takes strips of fabric from old silk saris, which she wraps around worn clothes. The work appeals to me personally, because I myself also work with old clothes and - just like her - with a lot of color."
They hoped that the artists could come, but because of Corona this does not happen. At least there will be an online event on May 26th to discuss the works shown.
Other artists that will be on display: the Dutch women Franciska Hennemann and Mirjam Piet, the Hungarian Eszter Bornemisza, Jette Clover from Belgium and the French Michele Landel. ...
Unfortunately the Textielfestival Leiden, Netherlands, had to be cancelled in 2020.
Thanks to the continuous effort of the Zijdelings-Textielworkshop, Tilburg, since May 2nd two of the involved galleries
the Galerie HighFiveArt in Baarle-Nassau until August 22nd and
the Galerie Zône in Leiden until end of May
are exhibiting three pieces of Mascha Mioni:
San Agustin, felt, silk stitched with gold thread
Kundalini Snake, old clothes wrapped with sari silk waste cut in strips, wooden branch
KISS - Keep It Simple and Straightforward, old clothes wrapped with sari silk waste cut in strips, sewn
The exhibition is the group-exhibition "Beyond Boundaries" of the European branch of the Surface Design Association SDA.
