Nr 34
February 2009

Rheinfelden, February 12, 2009

Dear members,
This Newsletter Nr 34 can be viewed here on the homepage, with links to the special entries. It is sent as well to all members as a word attachment to e-mail. And I am again sending a paper version to members without an e-mail address.

In december 2008 I travelled to Taiwan and I also visited Tainan. The town is the old Capital of Taiwan and since 1624 the "Dutch East India Compagny" had here an overseas branch. Today an interesting Embroidery Research Center belongs to the University Campus. More information can be found at: Institutions.

The Vocabulary is still in working progress. The address is being sent in the attachment of a personal e-mail, together with the Newsletter.
Thanks again for sending to me several contributions. I am appreciating all your further information very much.

With all good wishes
yours Anne Wanner

• The CIETA Website  http://www.cieta-textiles.org/  has been active since December 2006. It offers a general presentation of CIETA and practical information on its activities, publications and technical courses.
• The Costume Committee of ICOM has been responsible for the compiling of the Vocabulary of basic terms for the cataloguing of costume in english, French and German: http://www.mda.org.uk/costume/vbt00e.htm
• New Chair of Textile History: The renowned Swiss Abegg Foundation has put up SFr 5 million for a chair in the history of textile art at the Institute of Art History, University of Berne. This post for a tenured professor is unique in German speaking countries. The only other institutions offering similar professorships are the University of Uppsala, Sweden anmd London's Courtauld Institute. In conjunction with the Abegg Foundation's collections and workshops in neighbouring Riggisberg and the Berne Museum of History, this makes Switzerland an attractive education and research centre in a cultural area otherwise rather neglected in the West.
  A personality of international standing in research will be appointed with a remit to actively represent the new position to the outside world and build up a new study programme, "History of the Textile Arts". The postholder will be tasked with setting up a new study programme, a specialised Master programme in textile art history, and a PhD programme, and with conducting pure research in the textile arts. The new Professor will be appointed for February 2009.
  Address in charge: Prof.Dr. Bernd Nicolai, Universität Bern, Institut für Kunstgeschichte, Hodlerstr. 8, CH-3011 Bern

  Identité et histoire d’un médium artistique contemporain
  Colloque international, Lausanne, Suisse, Aula du Palais de Rumine,
  http://www.unil.ch/hart/page59525.html Contact : Marco.Costantini@unil.ch
  Cette rencontre entend examiner le plus largement possible l’identité du textile dans l’art contemporain. Si les arts plastiques seront privilégiés, les disciplines connexes telles que l’architecture, la littérature, l’histoire et les sciences sociales contribueront également à la construction d’un discours pertinent et neuf en la matière. Cette rencontre tentera d’esquisser une véritable théorie du textile dans sa dimension historique en interrogeant tant sa dimension technique et matérielle que son rôle de médium et de métaphore, et permettra d’identifier un discours du textile dans l’art pour la seconde moitié du XXe siècle.

I visited this very interesting Institute in December 2008
The following description is from a brochure about Tainan University, the photos were taken by Anne Wanner:
International Embroidery Research and Development Center, Tainan, Taiwan
Embroidery is part of the cultural heritage that has been passed on from earlier generations. Located at the junction of Mainland China and the Pacific Ocean, Taiwan has been greatly influenced by the eastern and western civilization. This precious ancient handicraft, embroidery, has been delivered to us through diverse aspects and formed abundant treasure and survived throughout history. Therefore rich pieces of art works were kept till now. On the basis of this, we established the International Embroidery Research & Development Center in February 2000, as so to promote the needlecrafts through research and teaching, to make this beauty of art in bloom and with a great hope, to purify people's hearts.

Ein eingehendes Literaturstudium mit anschliessenden, unzähligen Vergleichen mit der vorliegenden Stickerei, unterstützt frühere Erkenntnisse und festigt neue Aussagen.
    Der 2. Teil wird eingeleitet von einer präzisen Beschreibung des Antependiums, betreffend Material, Technik und Erhaltungszustand. Im Übrigen ist er den Abbildungen in Farb Reproduktion gewidmet. Hier sind auch die Muster der Goldgründe in schematischer Umzeichnung wiedergegeben.

  • The thesis examines the motives of reserve dyed, blue fabrics. This handicraft today still exists but is an endangered species. In Germany it can be found as early as 17th century. It was an opportunity for a broad population to adorn everyday and inexpensive textiles with long lasting motives. From the beginning also religious motives were printed and these motives can still be found today. In her thesis the author is compiling the religious motives of the blue reserve dyes, she is researching its provenances and shows the relevance on people's piety. see
