Details
This exhibition reexamines the question of what craft is by bringing together artists from Japan and France. It presents craft not merely as technique or tradition, but as a creative process built upon the relationship between people and materials. Visitors can experience the depth and contemporary potential of craft by walking through the exhibition space and engaging directly with the works, as the tactile feel and texture of the materials cannot be fully conveyed through photographs or video. The event is recommended for those involved in craft and design, as well as anyone interested in art and making or seeking new perspectives.
