TWIST – Art from Rubbish!
Mon, 20 July – Sat, 15 August 2026
church tower Haslach
Webbing edges, yarn scraps, fibre fluff, fabric pieces, old clothes, felt remnants, ends of ropes, tubes, straps and much more! What a treasure trove of special materials, striking colours, stimulating shapes and tactile surfaces! What is simply rubbish to many can inspire others!
The exhibition „Twist. Art from Waste!“ showcased free, experimental works across the eight floors of the Haslach church tower, utilising various textile waste materials to formulate independent modes of expression and artistic statements. Whether quilts made from old clothing, tapestries from discarded cuddly toys, dress objects made from shredded fabrics, oversized braids, woven pieces or felt objects – there were no limits to the imagination!
Alongside works by invited artists, the exhibition thrived above all on contributions from students at the University of Art and Design Linz and other educational institutions, who offered a young, fresh perspective on the theme and revealed new potentials and meanings for resources that often appear useless.
