TEXTILE.PEARL.GLASS

Under the motto PerlMUT (pearl courage) May 2024 is defined by the encounter between traditional pearl hoods and contemporary glass and textile art. Artist in residence Shae Bishop (US) is characterised in his work as a textile and ceramic designer, by his unusual perspective and courageous questioning of traditional clothing habits. He interacts with the Japanese glass artist Shige Fujishiro, who often uses tiny Japanese glass beads in his works and performances. In the special exhibition PerlMUT in the Hand. Werk.Haus Salzkammergut, their art works enter into an exchange with often traditionally produced objects from craftspeople, schools and interdisciplinary interfaces.

On Sat, 25.5.24, the opening day of PerlMUT, participants of the Upper Austria-wide pearl hood and gold band meeting can get to know the artists‘ working methods. On this day, visitors can expect a large number of regional and international exhibitors and makers, who interpret the PerlMUT motto in a variety of ways.
