From March 12 through July 12, 2015, Kimsooja’s Thread Routes will make its Spanish premiere at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, becoming the fourth installation showcased in the Museum’s Film & Video gallery. The gallery opened in 2014 and is dedicated to video art, video installation, and the moving image.

Thread Routes (2010–) is a 16-mm film series produced by multidisciplinary conceptual artist Kimsooja (b. 1957, Daegu, Korea). This six-chapter project explores textile work in different locations around the world. The films were shot on three different continents and reveal the artist’s interest in the intimate link between each region’s textile culture and its people, gender relations, architecture, nature and agriculture. These non-narrative films invite the viewer into a realm that explores the boundaries of poetry and visual anthropology.
