A tapestry that examines changing attitudes toward interpersonal relations, under the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a set of hanging bags, made of silk strips and painted in bright red, reflecting people's anxieties in a world of overconsumption, seem unlikely subjects for an exhibition.
The exhibition, titled Material Thinking, teams up 54 artists from the two countries who have worked with different materials throughout the years, such as paper, fiber, bamboo and even ready objects in daily life, exploring their limitations and boundaries and seeking possibilities to diversify the ways they are used to create art.
