"Tapestry in Architecture" features work by Mitsuko Asakura, an artist well known for her innovative combination of Japanese traditional dyeing and weaving with the techniques of Western tapestry. Highlighting eleven intricately woven, delicately patterned works designed to complement contemporary public interiors, the exhibition also includes many photos of Asakura’s works in situ, as well as a video essay explaining the arduous process of creating tapestries on an architectural scale.
