All You Can Not Eat

On display between 12.04.2024 – 13.10.2024 at St.Gallen Textilmuseum, the exhibition All You CanNOT Eat is modelled on a restaurant in which nothing edible or drinkable is on offer. By means of an exhibition and series of events, All You CanNOT Eat investigates table culture in terms of fake food and creative textile design.

Consisting of countless delicious pieces, All You CanNOT Eat is a participatory project with the involvement of Association Verdre, Marta Birt, Beni Bischof, Tatiana Boiko, Kristina Bucheli, Julie Chauland, Collective Swallow by Anaïs Marti, Estelle Gassmann, Sven Gex, Sarena Huizinga, Infantium Victoria by Dinie van den Heuvel, Terézia Krnáčová, Lapidar (Jessica Celis, Salomon Elsler, Elena Völkle, Nadine Werner), Alfred Leuzinger/ open art museum, Léonie Ludovicy, Pauline Lutz, Madame Europe, Madame Tricot, Yves Meier, Pusha Petrov, Carlo Rampazzi, Joan Sallas, Sinnlich Essen (Sabrina Berger, Cajetana Oechslin, Larissa Riesen, Lisa Rubio), Natalia Solo-Mâtine, Sabina Speich, taktik:haptik (Lisa Blaser, Zora Weidkuhn, Nathan Werlen), Tischgesellschaft (Jana Besimo, Valerie Meta Ehrenbold, Lisa Schöpflin).  The exhibition is curated by Dr. Alexandra Schüssler.

I believe St.Gallen Textilmuseum in Switzerland, which I have recently visited, is a must-have destination for all fashion and textile design lovers. In addition to its permanent collection of historical textiles and interesting textile exhibitions as the one discussed in this post, the museum has an impressive Textile Library including valuable books, magazines, and fabric samples. Don’t forget that the city of St.Gallen is historically famous for its lace and embroidery industry. The museum library contains hundreds of sample books, fashion sketches, and photographs kept in the display cabinets and cupboards.
