“Gift | Tribute | Taboo – What are we gifting?” is a duo porcelain exhibition of two well-known artists discussing the concept of “giving” that may be either sincere or having reciprocal hidden benefit.
By individually hand painting them, Nino recreated traditional blue and white Chinese vases that she has seen in many places, adding traditional designs on one side and with her interpretation of the possible expectations on the other.
Meanwhile, Wasinburee Supanichvoraparch presents a porcelain “tank” inspired by the “Dragoon Vases” – 151 blue and white porcelain vases from Ming and Qing Dynasty – that King Frederick William I sent to Augustus in exchange for a regiment of dragoons in 1717 and changed the direction of war with art.
