WHAT
The multi-media exhibition aims to blur the differences and boundaries between craftsmen, designers, and artists by showcasing a diverse collection of decorative art pieces, conceptual design works and selected artworks. By skillfully arranging design and artworks, different forms of art exist independently yet echo off of each other at the same time. The exhibition follows the gallery’s dedication to promote design as an art form.

WHY
The presentation raises questions about the hierarchical concept of art forms from the Western perspective and advocates following the Chinese literati tradition, where decorative art, design and fine art are on an equal footing. It calls for the support of traditional handicrafts through a more diverse and open attitude, and integrates the possibilities brought by new materials and technology. Rather than strictly adhering to ‘form follows function’, the concept and narrative of the work are key. Audiences are sure to enjoy this multi-media exhibition from such a diverse selection of artists.
