A show to see how the symbolic language, patterns and techniques of lace are represented through radical new approaches by UK and international artists. Featuring large-scale, theatrical and visually spectacular work, the exhibition challenges perceptions of what lace can be, involving the visitor in an environment where spaces become fluid and thread creates entirely new boundaries. Artists include Lise Bjorne Linnert, Tamar Frank, Chiharu Shiota and architecture studio Atelier Manferdini, with some international artists showing in the UK for the first time, and artworks breaking out beyond the bounds of the gallery space.
