From The Moor

'Aitor Throup’s First Major UK Retrospective Announced as the Finale of this Year’s British Textile Biennial.

Multi-disciplinary artist and fashion designer Aitor Throup announces ‘FROM THE MOOR’ – a retrospective exhibition showcasing Throup’s groundbreaking designs, sculptures and drawings from the past 20 years. The exhibition will be housed in his hometown of Burnley, Lancashire, to mark the finale of the British Textile Biennial.

Following the news of Throup’s return to the fashion world, British Textile Biennial has revealed that the immersive exhibition will take place at the Burnley Empire - an iconic Grade II listed Victorian theatre in the heart of Burnley. The historic venue has been out of use since 1995 and is considered “At Risk” by the Theatres Trust. Through their partnership, Aitor Throup and British Textile Biennial will breathe new life into the iconic Grade II Listed building, and shine a spotlight on the works to restore and reuse the large venue for modern use.' - British Textile Biennial
