Textiles exhibition celebrates Anglo-Japanese relations
14/09/2011
UCA’s professor of textile culture, Lesley Millar MBE, is curating Bite-Size, an exhibition of miniature works by textile artists from both countries, at the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation in London from October 31 - December 14, 2011. It will then travel and be shown in Japan.
Professor Millar, who founded UCA Farnham’s Anglo-Japanese Textile Centre in 2001, said: “This is a wonderful and unique opportunity to see works from a remarkable group of artists and designers in one place, and also celebrate what can be achieved when peer groups from two countries come together in a vibrant spirit of collaboration and exchange.”
Bite-Size features 51 artists from Japan and the UK who have taken part in the various exchange projects over the past 15 years.
