Ruth Asawa - Citizen of the Universe

Although less known outside North America, Japanese-American artist Ruth Asawa is an artist of vital importance to modern art. 'Ruth Asawa: Citizen of the Universe', which accompanies the first exhibition of Asawa's work to be staged in public galleries in Europe, introduces European audiences to both Asawa's powerful art - including her signature hanging sculptures in looped and tied wire - and her pioneering education practice. It positions her expansive ethos - her self-identification as 'a citizen of the universe' and belief that art education can be life enriching for everyone - as a catalyst for creative forward-thinking in the 21st century.
