SIZE MATTERS
When it comes to choosing a bag, this can be based purely on aesthetic aspects.
But it's hard to imagine that - perhaps only subconsciously - the question of need doesn't also come into play. The dimensions and carrying mode should be right.
Because life is constantly changing and needs are very variable, EVA BLUT proposes bags that can be adapted to changing needs. This means in SIZE MATTERS in particular: the changeability of the size - the transport volume.
And this works in different ways:
Small can be turned into large - or vice versa.
Or an extension volume can be added - or removed again. This is made possible with lightweight, thin nylon.
‘Mono-dimensional’ models are realised in different dimensions but still resizeable.
Many new shapes makes it possible to take a laptop to work, but in the evening - when it is not needed - to go to the cinema with a small bag (which is the same). No need to swap bags.
EVA BLUT moves along functional baselines. However, we follow them experimentally, which leads to surprising solutions whose aesthetics suit contemporary users.
Event
WORKSHOP
Introduction into bag making
Sat, 21 Nov 2026, 2.00 - 6.00 pm
At EVA BLUT Studio & Shop
Kirchengasse 19, 1070 Vienna
The aim of the workshop is to teach the galantist approach to three-dimensional design for leather objects.
As part of the workshop, participants will create a simple container (such as a pencil case, case, card holder or key case).
The following will be covered:
- symmetrical pattern layout
- choice of materials
- cutting the leather
- edging with a machine
- sewing with a sewing machine
- fitting the fastening
It is a good idea to think in advance about what you would like to create.
Ideally, this should include a design sketch (or image) and measurements.
This way, you can learn how to bring your own ideas to life.
Hearing the other participants’ ideas explained will likely shed light on different approaches.
As the work is carried out by hand (except on the edge-sharpening machine), it is helpful to have some prior experience of sewing or cutting with a Stanley knife.
No liability can be accepted for any injuries!
Materials are included in the course fee.
The course is taught in German.
Places are limited – please register here!
SCULPTÜR 26/3
Claudia Märzendorfer
Vernissage Wednesday, 30 September 2026
Artist Talk with curator Jeanette Pacher (Secession), 25 November 2026, 19:00
The sculptor Claudia Märzendorfer does not limit herself to a single medium.
In her artistic practice, she explores the possibilities of sculptural means, which can be immaterial and conceptual. However, there are media and techniques that feature in Märzendorfer’s works, with the representations referencing their material.
For example, she works with sound and ice, has dismantled a piano and knitted an engine block. Her spectacular sculptures also include those made from ink ice.
The sculptor also uses ink as a medium for drawings. Examples of this include series of drawings featuring ink blots and cuttlefish. Time and again, Märzendorfer makes textual references in her artistic work, as in the installation *A Chicken Can’t Lay a Duck Egg* (2026) at Kunstplatz Graben.
In the ‘Sculptür 26’ series at EVA BLUT, Claudia Märzendorfer presents two figures from her ‘Figures of France’ (2019/2022) series – a series of small sculptural still lifes that could be situated within the Capitalocene. Snow-white casts, arranged in relation to one another on a white background that serves as a tray for these delicate forms.
Märzendorfer is also exhibiting ink drawings from the series *Black Beauty* (2024) at Eva Blut. This creates an intertwining of content between sculpture and drawing within the exhibition.
In her own words, the sculptor aims to create a world alongside or parallel to our own.
