Lost in Lace: New approaches by UK and international artists

29 October 2011 to 19 February 2012

Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery

Step into a world of lace as you’ve never seen it before. See how the symbolic language, patterns and techniques of lace are represented through radical new approaches by UK and international artists. Featuring large scale, theatrical and visually spectacular work, this exhibition challenges perceptions of what lace can be, involving the visitor in an environment where spaces become fluid and thread creates entirely new boundaries.

Full details can be found on the Lost in Lace website
