'Cloth is the universal free element. It doesn’t have to explain itself. It performs.'*

A new project led by Lesley Millar, who, with the University College for the Creative Arts, also organised the textile projects ‘Textural Space’, ‘Through the Surface’ and ’21:21 – the textile vision of Reiko Sudo and NUNO’.

These projects have concentrated on textile practice in the UK and Japan, ‘cloth and culture now’ will extend the research to include Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Japan and the UK and will culminate in a major publication and the exhibition at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in 2008. more>
