Garden of Eden
Textile exhibition at the occasion of the ETN conference in Haslach / Austria, July 17 to August 4, 2019, Neuhaus Castle.

This exceptional exhibition was only open for a few weeks, it still counted over 4000 visitors. It was one of the most surprising venues for an exhibition: The The Gothic Castle , overlooking the Danube was not used for a long time and had to be restored with minimal means. This was done in the most creative way by the Haslach Textile Centre team who also installed the textile works with great sensibility. I have seldom seen an exhibition that fitted so well; the old stone walls seemed to have waited for these textiles. To give you an impression I will show here a larger part of the exhibits (though not all due to the quality of my photos) together with some images from the venue!
