Thread: Exhibition

UPPER & LOWER GALLERIES

THE SCHOOLHOUSE

LONDON

OPENING SPRING 2026

As a Gallery, we are at the forefront of recognising material and process-led art as a significant movement within the cultural landscape of the visual arts. 'Thread' explores the notion that weaving is both a thought or idea, as well as a process of making that speaks to the fundamental interconnectedness of human experience.

This group show is an international survey on contemporary woven work, highlighting how this ancient craft, using natural materials and a diverse range of innovative techniques, reflects creative community and exchange. 

This rich approach to weaving signifies our multicultural world through a timeless and poetic language, enabling complex material semantics that transcend modern forms of communication.
