Very interesting in the development process of the ornamentation and manufacturing »technology« was the conflict between the handicrafts of the art school in Plauen and the increasing industrialization of the textile industry in the 19th century. Alongside the original artifacts which are created between 1877 and 1945, fashion photographs and design portfolios from the art school’s holdings are exhibited.
The carefully curated exhibition started on October 11th, 2020, in the »Vogtlandmuseum Plauen« and will continue in the springtime of 2021 at the »Kunstgewerbemuseum Dresden”. In cooperation with both houses, we made the graphic design concept, the guiding system of the exhibition, and the catalog, which is published by the »Sandstein Verlag«.
