The HKU Museum Society is delighted to organise a guided tour of Spinning East Asia Series II: A Net (Dis)entangled at CHAT. We will be guided by Wang Weiwei, the Curator of Exhibitions and Collections.

 

Spinning East Asia Series II: A Net (Dis)entangled

Titled A Net (Dis)entangled, the exhibition and second chapter of the Spinning East Asia Series features 16 groups of artists based in East Asia, or whose creative research revolves around East Asian topics. The participating artists approached their work with an open mind and from various angles with regards to textile culture, from its materiality, associated techniques, to subject matters and more.
