Opening: Saturday March 11th, 16:00.
Floor length embroideries of men and trees on silk and tablecloths from grandma which are years old and covered in telling stains and folds. Joost Post and Haruka Matsuo from the Rietveld Academy teamed up to see the result of juxtaposing the stiff and starched and the worn and loved.

Matsuo considers her textile work more as sculpture, a mobile kind. Joost Post has used it in an autobiographical way to look at his past and the roles textiles played then.
