CRAFT NOWPAVILION

Curated by Susanna Pang of the Contemporary Crafts Centre, the pavilion is further enriched by the expertise of veteran curator Ying Jian and the accomplished consultant in the fields of craft and design Eva Qian Li, who both serve as advisors for the pavilion. This curated selection demonstrates that craft is not just “handicrafts” but a significant part of contemporary art with immense cultural and collectable value.
*Please refer to the appendix for the biographies of the Curator and Advisors. Showcasing a rich diversity of materials and techniques, the exhibition celebrates the artistry and craftsmanship that define the contemporary craft movement.

BACK ON PAPER PAVILION

The special exhibition Back on Paper brings together over 30 exceptional works on paper traversing geographies and centuries — from classical sketches, prints and European etchings to ukiyo-e and contemporary ink, highlighting the timeless role of paper as the foundation of artistic expression. The exhibition also pays tribute to the late Robert H. Ellsworth (1929-2014), a pioneering collector and scholar of Asian art, with a selection of rare books from his personal library, each bearing his collector’s seal. These treasured volumes reflect paper’s enduring significance of paper as a vessel of scholarship, artistry, and historical memory.
