japanese kites inspire western kitemakers

Kites in the exhibition, installed high off the museum's walls, range in size from a few inches to 40 feet. All are meant to fly and most have touched the air over two or three continents. The exhibition also features Streeter's "Five Mile Long Flying Red line," a 12 inch by 5 mile long kite tail. Taking advantage of the Weisman's lofty exhibition spaces, Tako: Japanese Kites Inspire Western Kitemakers encourages viewers to look up and consider art from a new perspective.
