EyeLevel BQE was born in 2008 as an artist-run project that seeks to offer a forum in the Art and Design fields. Offering an effective documentation of the work we produce, constantly reaching out to find ways of bringing the community closer to the things we see, believe in and do.

Fiber Futures: Japan’s Textile Pioneers Friday, September 16 — Sunday, December 18  Japan’s Textile Pioneers showcases the dynamic field of Japanese fiber art. The works on display range from ethereal silk and hemp to paper pulp and synthetic fiber using methods that are sometimes deeply traditional, but sometimes employ the latest weaving and dyeing technology along with an environmentally conscious “green” ethos. Moving far beyond traditional utility, Japan’s textile pioneers fuse past and present to create innovative, beautiful and sometimes challenging works of art.  If you want to learn a bit more about this exhibition, watch PBS recommendations, there they have an interview with Joe Earle, Curator of Japan Society, you can watch here.
