In the Studio BvdL exhibition Decomposition, Studio JUMI pushes the boundaries of the medium by fragmenting, dissolving, and condensing the grid-like structure of the woven fabric. The displayed works include Open Archive–an ongoing collection of weaving samples created in the course of Studio JUMI’s research — as well as a translucent wall hanging and three-dimensional surface structures.

Studio JUMI is strongly influenced and inspired by the former weaving workshops of the Bauhaus School in Weimar, Germany and Black Mountain College in North Carolina, USA, and by the works of textile artists such as Anni Albers, Gunta Stölzl, Sheila Hicks and Leonore Tawney, who combined the craft of hand-weaving with the language of modern art. Their knowledge influenced and was transferred to many other art and design forms. Today, given the growing interest in hand crafts as well as the need for sustainability and a more conscious approach to consumption, the role of weaving workshops and the potential of the woven fabric itself are being perceived in a new light.
