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.
My iPad has automatically created a portrait from my fotos 2016 shot in St. Petersburg, Corfu, Lucerne, New York, Houston and especially Mexico.

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.
