Tetsuo Kusama
After graduating from Musashino Art University, Tetsuo Kusama went to work for Kawashima Textile in Kyoto, where he learned about the new weaving techniques that were emerging in Europe and the United States at the time. He studied at the graduate school of Cranbrook Academy of Art, and from the 1970s while traveling back and forth between Japan and the U.S., exhibited his works at the Lausanne Tapestry Biennale and other exhibitions, and actively pursued the possibility of public art by installing work in public spaces such as halls and hospitals. In recent years, he has received international acclaim, including consecutive awards at the International Fiber Art Biennale in China.
Kusama came to Okayama Prefecture in 1993 with the opening of Okayama Prefectural University, where he worked as a supervisor until his retirement in 2011 to train future generations, and now continues his creative activities at his studio in Akaiwa, Okayama.
Kusama uses vivid and beautiful colored yarns to create three-dimensionally constructed woven work, work made by coiling and binding together thin wires, and work made by pinning together layers of small round felt. This exhibition is a retrospective of Kusama’s creative activities over the past 50 years.
