★The first special exhibition since its opening last summer is a part of the long-term Echigo-Tsumari art project, "Embracing the earth", to be launched this summer under the initiative of the museum. The project will explore and find the way to connect culture and art with industry, education, people and their lives and then to pass onto next generations under the theme of Tokamachi's local industry such as textile and clothes.
The exhibition will be directed by Takehiko Sanada presenting his own artwork along with other artworks, performances and workshops by approximately 20 young artists who use textile as materials for their artworks.
