Dudley (near Birmingham).
Its 48 pieces measuring 30cm x 120cm include my "With Every Heartbeat", which

Cloth & Culture Now moves to the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester. I saw it in Norwich yesterday (its last day there) and found a revelation about what's being done with textiles in the Baltic states, which of course were occupied by the USSR for several decades. Textile traditions were one way of retaining national identity (in Estonia and perhaps Latvia and Lithuania too, singing/music was another) - but the works on show moved beyond tradition. Others of the 35 artists represented come from Finland, Japan and the UK, and the show includes 3D, which is not surprising, and video - which is.
