neooold: "Art·Extension"

neooold, curated by designer Chen Min, presents "Art·Extension" as the theme for 2024. The concept of extending craftsmanship has always been one of neooold's dedicated development directions. The exhibition design, presented by architectural firm line+ under the direction of architect Meng Fanhao, draws on the cultural symbol of the bracket arch, a traditional architectural element, to create a precise and melodious space. During the exhibition, works by artists and craftsmen from both domestic and international realms, including Alao Bakker, Makoto Suetomi, and Hans Tan, will be showcased. Encompassing ceramics, metalworking, weaving, lacquer, and other traditional crafts, these dedicated works converge the origins of modern art with the deep roots of traditional craftsmanship. The exhibition not only showcases artistic endeavors but also collects legendary stories surrounding the inheritance and development of traditional crafts.
