Chen Wei and Lap-See Lam’s work will be on view in a group exhibition “Stay Connected: Supplying the Globe” at Tai Kwun.
“ai Kwun Contemporary presents Stay Connected: Supplying the Globe, the second chapter of Stay Connected: Art and China Since 2008. More than 70 artworks from over 40 participating artists re-examine China’s role as the world’s centre for the production and logistics that sustain modern life. They give insights into the individual stories, family histories, and lesser-seen places impacted by globalisation and by China’s unprecedented economic growth in recent decades.
The artworks in Supplying the Globe are presented in four thematic sections that highlight subjects including ecological footprints, depictions of labour (including artistic work), networks of exchange, and the global realignments brought by the transnational flows of people, materials, and ideas.” – Tai Kwun
