Fusing traditional craft and contemporary art, Of Thread and Stone traverses imagery, literature, objects, archives, crafts, and artworks. As cultural relics, thread and stone are at once natural and industrial, sediments of time and space. These threads and stones also attest to disaster and resistance: the bundles of cotton that ignited a fire at a textile factory in Pakistan, gravel thrown from Lebanon at border military camps in Israel, inscribed stones from Taiwan’s east coast placed along Ketagalan Boulevard, and flags from social movements that once flew over the streets of Poland and Iran. The artistic narratives ensconced in these objects are anything but mainstream, yet they lend a lens through which to apprehend modernity and contemporary life.
This show runs through 14 June, 2026.
