The group exhibition shows twelve contemporary artistic perspectives on the medium of textiles. The focus is on collective practices of production and a joint, experimental discovery of textile techniques against the backdrop of an ecologically and socially sustainable, as well as innovative, handling of textiles and fashion.

In the run-up to the exhibition, individual artists used the ESCHE Lab — the newly established workshop — as well as the museum’s inventory of materials and machinery, and worked on experiments and prototypes in cooperation with the Saxon Textile Research Institute e. V. (STFI) Chemnitz. The works shown reflect the history, meaning and aesthetics of textiles and enter into a dialogue with the permanent exhibition in terms of content and space.

The accompanying program negotiates topics such as the circular economy, local resources and sustainable production methods, representing a counterpoint to the global fast fashion industry and its ecological and social effects. Workshops and discussions offer interactive insights into the textile industry and encourage sustainable consumption and social responsibility.

FABRIC VISIONS is an invitation to discover the complexity and potential of textiles as a medium and offers space for reflection and discussion in the field of art, craft, technology and sustainability.
