KASURI-Installation by Masterweaver Jun Tomita (Japan)

Jun Tomita’s works are shown in the unique art space Johanniterkirche that reminds of its original usage: a catholic church. It stands in the center of the ancient part of the 800-year-old town Feldkirch in western Austria. Here, at the train station, James Joyce had the idea to his literary masterpiece „Ulyssus“. Lake Constance, Switzerland and Germany are within close reach.

The quintessence of Tomita’s fiber art is his masterful composition of material and subtle color. The hand-weaving underlines his renowned minimalistic esthetics. Tomita has exhibited extensively worldwide, e.g. at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, Victoria & Albert Museum, London and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
Nanna co-curates this exhibition.
