Collection of Fukuoka Asian Art Museum

Permanent Collection Exhibition

Memories of Clothes, Fabrics of Remembrance

Period
Oct 4, 2007 〜 Dec 25, 2007
Venue

Asia Gallery A

A beautiful dress or a worn-out sweater steeped with the smell of one’ s past and memories have been transformed into artworks by artists in this exhibition.
The 18 works on display are shown under five different themes: “The Memories of Clothes in My Mind,”
“Searching for New Clothes,” “Memento of Public Struggles,” “A Sarong Infused with Heart” and “Clothes as Social Skin.”
The crossings of clothes and artistic expression will be explored. We hope you will be inspired to take a journey into your own memory through this exhibition, as if you are looking through a sheer sheet of cloth to see what lies beyond.
