The upcoming summer symposium TEXTILE KULTUR HASLACH will take place between July 17th and August 4th, 2023 in the north of Austria. An exhibition we will show the collection of Marianne Flügel, a textile didactic who traveled all her life, collected and analysed various baskets, bags, ribbons and everyday textile objects from different cultures. Several evening events and another exhibition of contemporary work by Belgian weaver Esther Van Schuylenbergh will also explore the theme.

Of course, the international Weaver´s Market should not be missing this year either - it is scheduled for the weekend of 29./30. July 2023 planned. At the same time, the “Faserzone”, a material and yarn fair, will take place again.

Exhibitions

beFLÜGELt ("be inspired")

The exhibition beFLUEGELt presents the collection of Marianne Flügel, a textile teacher from Cologne, who has traveled her whole life, collecting various everyday textile objects using a wide variety of primary techniques, analyzing them and partially reworking them. These are mostly very archaic techniques ("primary textile techniques") that were used before weaving was invented and can usually be carried out without any major technical equipment. The wonderful, small collection of ethnographic samples and didactic preparations was handed over to the Textile Centre Haslach and is to be exhibited on a larger scale for the first time in 2023. It documents a "textile view" of the world and pays tribute to the many, mostly unnoticed little things that are often cleverly made and can actually "inspire" when you look at their inner structures and their special aesthetics.

Duration: Tue, July 18 2023 - Sun, January 7 2024

BEYOND STRUCTURE

In another exhibition we will show contemporary work by the Belgian weaver Esther Van Schuylenbergh, which is also influenced by primary textile structures.

Further details will follow.
