TRöCKNETURM INSTALLATION

My project the installation at the St.Gallen Tröckneturm is organized in collaboration with Kunst Halle St. Gallen and in dialogue with TaDA - Textile and Design Alliance.

The discovery of old photographs inspired me to make a textile installation at the Tröckneturm (drying tower) in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The St. Gallen Tröckneturm is a legacy of the region’s textile industry, which has been active for centuries. In the 19th century, these buildings were used to dry wet, dyed fabric. The project aims to (re)interpret the former purpose of this functional building and make it visible and tangible. The project has three pillars. The first is the textile installation itself, the second is an artist book ( working title: forget-me-not) of detailed research and archive material, and the third is a conference day on site.

Dates of the installation, on three weekends,
