Mascha Mioni was born Marianne Bissig and the daughter of a seamstress and a railway electrician, she grew up in Brugg and Rapperswil SG . Like her mother, she completed an apprenticeship as a dressmaker. After completing her apprenticeship, she lived as an au pair in Paris and Exeter, followed by a study visit to Florence. In 1967 she married the ophthalmologist Kurt Mittelholzer, who died in 1976. There are two daughters from the marriage.

Since 1981 she has lived with the mathematician Heiner Graafhuis. In 2001 they built the studio house together in Meggen LU , where she lives, works and curates exhibitions today.

Works

Mascha Mioni has dealt with a wide variety of materials and techniques in the course of her artistic work. Inspired by the book Art Clothing Art by New Yorker Julie Shafler Dale and as a co-founder of the Art to Wear team , she became a pioneer of this art movement in Europe. She comments on the importance of a dress as a work of art:

“Creating a dress means taking the picture off the wall and wrapping it around the body. This changes the type of access and meaning. The emphasis on an isolated object that is considered 'art' is shifting to an art that is also a functional piece of clothing. "

- Marianne Mittelholzer

Her experiments in dyeing silk contributed significantly to the spread of Shibori techniques in modern textile art.

Participation in global events inspired her to create works such as the Green Piece / Green Peace, which spreads its wings at UNESCO in Paris, or the menacingly dark golf dress that she created at the beginning of the Gulf War.

In 2012/13 she knitted the 6x3x3 m work «Lismete» as a memorial for the ubiquitous plastic waste from Texaid 's garment collection bags.

Exhibitions

From 1977 to 1988 she showed her painting with oil on canvas in group and solo exhibitions, until her textile art first received broad professional attention in a group exhibition at Landhaus Solothurn, Switzerland and in 1991 in a solo exhibition at the Textile Museum St. Gallen, Switzerland. This led to a group exhibition in Auburn / NY, USA and in Cologne, Germany. After a smaller solo exhibition on the occasion of the World Economic Forum in the Kongresshaus Davos and a group exhibition in the House of Art (Dom Umenia) in Bratislava, Slovakia, and again in the Textile Museum St. Gallen, she published the first book of her textile art in 1995 in her own greina publishing house, the another book followed every five years.

Several group exhibitions in Tbilisi, Georgia, at UNESCO in Paris, France and Italy led her to the realization that art clothing art, Art to Wear, is best shown on the body, in a performance. In 2002 she implemented this for the first time in performances at the Fashionation, Musée Suisse, Zurich, and at the 4th International Shibori Symposium in Harrogate, England. A performance in Melbourne, Australia, and a group exhibition at the Tama Art University Museum, Tokyo, Japan, and again at the Textile Museum St. Gallen, followed. Some of her works of art are also staged by the Compagnie Irene K. throughout Europe at their dance performances. After a solo exhibition in the Museum Sursilvan, Trun / GR, Switzerland, a room installation followed at a group exhibition in the Aarberghaus, Ligerz, Switzerland, and a performance on the occasion of the 7th International Shibori Symposium in the Musée du Quai Branly, Paris in 2008, as well as a group exhibition together with Yoshiko Iwamoto Wada , Ana Lisa Hedstrom, Junichi Arai and other internationally recognized artists at the Hong Kong Polytechnical University, China, and August 2013 to February 2014 at the Jim Thompson Art Center, Bangkok. A long friendship with the American sculptor Lawrence McLaughlin led to joint exhibitions of his sculptures and their oil paintings from Dietlikon / Zurich, through Beaugency in France to the Bareiss Gallery in Taos, New Mexico, USA. In addition to the ongoing work with oil on canvas and mixed media, curating exhibitions for international artist friends such as Shinzo Kajiwara, Tokyo, and Werner Bitzigeio, Winterspelt, Germany, she also installed a work on the Kunstpfad am Rhein in Trun. Her most important project in autumn 2014 was showing the two installations "Lismete" (9 × 4.5 × 4 m) and "Dance of Life" in the China National Silk Museum, Hangzhou, during her two-month stay as Artist in Residence at Jin Ze Art Center, Shanghai.
