This exhibition draws upon 18 American collections, to present an astonishing variety of bamboo art by 37 artists. Works range from functional to sculptural, demonstrating contemporary experimentation informed by the long tradition of bamboo arts in Japan. Most baskets were completed in the last 5 years, each requiring 1-3 months to weave. Guest curated by Donald Doe and Rob Coffland. Catalog available.
