Modern Twist: Contemporary Japanese Bamboo Art
FREE gallery admission Tuesday – Friday, March 14-17, 1 pm-3 pm
Bamboo is characterized by strength, flexibility, and lightness—bending, not breaking, with strong winds, while enduring harsh winters. Modern Twist explores the innovative shape bamboo art has taken in Japan since the mid-twentieth century. With rare wall-hung installations and sculptures never before seen in Texas, the exhibition both engages and educates audiences about a vibrant cultural art form. |
