The "work in progress" exhibition format PREMIUM-UNIFORM will constantly change and develop. By sewing the existing old textiles, new fancy creations, unique objects, practical workwear and experimental works are constantly being created. These will be placed in the exhibition space for you to pick up at your leisure.

Exhibition by Anna* Marina Ernst, Melina Harting, Mirjam Kämmerer, Sophia Kraus, Leonie Lindinger and Vanessa Veljković from the Department of Fine Arts & Design at the Mozarteum University Salzburg at the Salzburger Kunstverein.

The ‘With Dylan on the Road’ travel grant was conceived for the first time in 2022, enabling artistic teams to travel in the footsteps of Bob Dylan and develop projects. The trips took them to European countries as well as (North and South) American and African countries and brought back a variety of artistic works, from performance to song, from graphic work to theatre pieces, from video installations to artistically sophisticated documentation. With ‘With Dylan on the Road 2’, the Asian region (Japan, Korea, but also Turkey) is now also included in the above-mentioned geographical area, or rather opened up by the ten new artistic-scientific projects.

In the "GOODGOODS - from experiment to mass production" project, students developed a product together with detailed instructions that show the production process broken down into individual steps and can therefore be mass produced - even by someone else.

Students of the sculpture class of the Department of Fine Arts & Design take a contemporary look at objects from the collection in a co-operation with the Salzburg Museum on the occasion of the anniversary "100 Years of the Folklore Museum in the Monatsschlössl".

Exhibition by Josefa Wiedemann, Toni Ofner, Maria Geiser, Vanessa Friedl, Melanie Forsthuber, and Clara Elixmann from the Department of Fine Arts & Design at the Mozarteum University Salzburg, held at the Salzburg Kunstverein.

Parklets to linger, for people and bees: On June 28, two parklets were opened in the city of Salzburg, one of which is TO BEE, a project by students at the Department of Fine Arts & Design (Design: Technik.Textil).

Resources, waste and the afterlife of art: in the 2022/23 academic year, students in the sculpture class of the Visual Arts Education programme explored the broad topic of the relationship between nature and art. External curator Yorick Josua Berta provided content support for the resulting projects, which resulted in the exhibition ‘Material flows. Resources, Waste and the Afterlife of Art’ for the state gallery “Kunst im Traklhaus”. He expanded the works of our sculpture students with positions from Linz art students and renowned artists.

The collaborative greenhouse of the sculpture class combines botany and synthetics; in doing so, it aims to fuse natural processes such as growth with long-term toxic materials such as (micro/macro) plastic. In this work, the students address the theme of "nature:art" from a wide variety of perspectives. Thus, working groups have each focused on space, growth and object and united them in the common greenhouse.

Textiles, with their many inherent stories, are an expression of our identity. They are a reflection of social structures and community identities. They are mediators between the individual and the community. As clothing for the body, space and objects, they provide information about cultural and social everyday life.
