Hiroko Takeda

Hunter Dunbar Projects is pleased to present The Ten Thousand Threads, an exhibition of recent work by Hiroko Takeda. Known for her innovative approach to textiles, Takeda (b. 1966) combines techniques from the Japanese Arts and Crafts movement Mingei Undo as well as global weaving methods and references to 20th century geometric abstraction. This marks the first one-person presentation of the artist’s work in New York.

Born in Nagoya and raised in Tokyo, Takeda currently lives and works in Brooklyn. She received her MA from the Royal College of Art in London and was previously senior designer at Jack Larsen Studio in New York. Takeda has been an artist-in-residence at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation. She has also received the International Textile Award in Tokyo, the ICFF Editors Award, and the Jack Larsen Contemporary Textile Award.
