Telfsart: an exhibition at Villa Schindler

If you are planning an excursion to the Inn Valley west of Innsbruck, you can add a stop to your day by going to see the „Telfsart“ exhibition at Villa Schindler in Telfs. Telfs is a small town about 30 kilometers from Innsbruck, reachable very quickly by highway and close to the Mieminger Plateau, offering walks and beautiful views.

The group exhibition „Telfsart“, which brings together 36 visual artists active in this Tyrolean town, is open until August 5, 2023. Curators Christine Gamper and Sandra Marsoun-Kaindl asked the invited artists for work that was representative of their work, without placing restrictions on techniques or theme. The result is a very diverse exhibition in terms of multiplicity of materials and techniques, themes and poetics, the intent of which is to highlight the variety and richness of local artistic activity.
As part of the exhibition „Telfsart“ there is also a program of events such as talks with the artists, guided tours by the curators (in German) and more.

The space hosting the exhibition certainly deserves a few words because of its historical role. The town of Telfs became an industrial center in the 19th century with several textile factories, attracting labor, including foreign labor. Today there are no longer any active textile industries, but traces remain, both in the town's architecture and in its historical memory. Villa Schindler is named after one of Telfs textile entrepreneurship families, who decided to leave part of the family home to the municipality to host cultural events, exhibitions and concerts.
