"Panta Rhei" at the Tama Art University Museum, Tokyo
The 11th International Shibori Symposium in Japan selected Mascha Mioni's wall-installation "Panta Rhei - Always Flowing" for the exhibition "International Contemporary Art of Shibori" at the Tama Art University Museum, Tokyo.
The felting-expert and textile artist Jorie Johnson photographed her colleague Ana Lisa Hedstrom in front of Mascha's creation.
The exhibition lasts from July 1st to August 19, 2018.
2nd picture: A detail was used for the poster of the exhibition
3rd picture: The original of the detail: One of the 18 objects of Panta Rhei - Always Flowig, 2017/18
18 handmade paper-objects are arranged on the wall, each suspended on strips of used sari-silk from the head of an antique hat-pin.
Color flows and diffuses on handmade paper-objects – this creates a random pattern, guided but not deliberately controlled by the artist. Expanded Shibori.

Corin Curschellas Testing for the Opening
On July 28th, 2018, at 3 p.m. the singer/song-writer/composer Corin Curschellas, who received the culture price 2018 of the Swiss Canton Graubünden, will present some local and international songs in the monumental Sculpture OGNA designed by the Trunser artist Matias Spescha. This will be a musical introduction to the opening of the exhibition of five world-renown textile atists, which will commence at 5:00 p.m. at the Museum Sursilvan, Trun.
OGNA features complex acoustics, it is open to the sky and has echo-walls, therefore Corin tested, whether it can be played without electric sound equipment.
Now we just hope for "no rain".

Mascha Mionis exposition at the JinZe Art Center, Shanghai
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.
