A LARGE VISION ON FIBER ARTS
Author and the founder of the project  ‘Asia-Europe’ – contemporary fiber art exhibition is artist Erny Piret and her idea of a dialogue in contemporary textile art was born on the occasion of the Biennial of Kaunas (Lithuania) and the very first Asia -Europe1 was a satellite exhibition of Biennial of Kaunas 2009.
Erny had cooperation with Japanese fiber artists e.g.  Kakuko Ishii from Fukuoka, who was helping in contacts to Japan, practical matters and translations. Marialuisa Sponga helped Erny to find European artists to  exhibitin AE1-2 (source: Erny Piret). 

Due to Erny’s high age, she asked Marika Szaraz, Hungarian artist in Brussels, to take over the organizing work of AE3 2016-18. 

The exhibition ‘Asia-Europe’ presents innovative artistic creations in relation with Asian and European countries and their textile techniques.
