A Net of Eels at The Wapping Project from 10th July- 23rd August 2009
A Net of Eels by Jake Tilson and Kyoichi Tsuzuki will be at The Wapping Project, London from 10th July to 23rd August 2009.
'An exhibition of new work by British artist/writer/cook Jake Tilson and Japanese photographer/cultural commentator Kyoichi Tsuzuki, 'A Net of Eels' is a playful and evocative exploration of the complex cultural and culinary significance of the Eel in Japan and the UK.

Featuring a selection of photographic images, audio works and found objects drawn from historical contexts and everyday popular culture, the project combines Tilson's highly personal and eclectic approach to his subject (as seen in his celebrated narrative cookbook A Tale of 12 Kitchens, 2006) with Tzusuki's more anthropological observations (evident in his popular photographic publications Roadside Japan, 1996 and Tokyo Style, 1993).
A Net of Eels is commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella in association with The Wapping Project. Supported by Arts Council England and The Great Britain Saskawa Foundation. Presented as part of the Wapping Project / Jerwood Found in Translation programme.'
