NUNO: Japanese Tradition/ Innovation in Cloth


Ends Sunday, October 7

A display of NUNO fabrics, one of Japan's most influential and innovative textile producers.

When it comes to being detail-oriented, the Japanese are in a league of their own. Hand them a piece of paper and they'll fold it at 27 different angles to create a giraffe. Give them a plant seedling and they'll confine it to a small pot so that it doesn't grow big. Show them some porn and they'll spend hours pixilating the screen to blur out the money shots. Starting today, this attention to detail is on display at the Baltimore Museum of Art. This exhibit features textiles by NUNO, an influential and innovative Japanese textile producer known for the way it combines tradition and modern technologies ("Origami Pleat," designer Reiko Sudo, pictured). In addition to using cotton, linen, and silk, NUNO fabrics also feature more unusual elements, such as thin copper wire and sheet metal.—Jeremy Esperon
