雲、權力與紋飾 ─ 中亞織行 Clouds, Power and Ornament – Roving Central Asia 連接東西方的地理位置、古老絲綢之路的貿易 網絡、以及多個帝國或政權在這地區的角逐和 輪流統治，都為中亞帶來了不同歷史時期的社 會轉型以及商品、人口、宗教、文化持續上千年 的頻繁交流與融合。綁染、羊毛氈、刺繡、補花 氈等各種傳統的紡織材料、技藝，伴隨著獨特的 樣式、花紋，組成了複雜而又極具特色且歷史悠 久的中亞紡織文化。當代藝術家們也常常以此 作為創作媒介與題材，或從中獲得靈感去思考 和回應政治社會的轉型。 「雲、權力與紋飾─中亞織行」以紡織和工藝作 為出發點，向幅員遼闊且盤根錯節的中亞政治 社會文化疊層裡縱深探索。由斯拉夫與韃靼和 由宓共同策劃的「雲與權力」以傳統的綁染編 織為隱喻，呈現中亞錯綜複雜的政治社會圖景。 由亞歷珊卓・崔策劃的「縫線：對紋飾的重新想 像」則專注於中亞的傳統紋飾，探索其作為一種 語言，如何與政治、社會和文化的形塑互相影響， 對中亞女性藝術家的聚焦，則揭示了曾被主流敘 述遮蔽起來的重要力量。 對中亞的考察，將幫助我們突破二元對立的侷 限，在複雜和矛盾中建立流動的思維方式，學習 多元族群共存的經驗和智慧。

特別展覽 Special Exhibition

Geographically linking East and West through ancient Silk Road trade routes, Central Asia is where various empires and political powers converge and compete, giving rise to different periods of social transformation. Traditional materials and techniques like ikat, felt, suzani and syrmak, along with their unique styles and ornaments, make up the distinctive textile culture of Central Asia. Contemporary artists from this region also often use this textile culture for inspiration and as creative material to respond to political and social changes.

Clouds, Power and Ornament – Roving Central Asia takes textiles and crafts as the starting point for an in-depth exploration of this vast interconnected territory with its multi-layered politics, societies and cultures.

The first part, Clouds and Power, co-curated

by Slavs and Tatars and You Mi, uses traditional ikat as a metaphor to present a view of the intricacies of Central Asia's political and social landscape. The second part, Suture: Reimagining Ornament curated

by Alexandra Tsay, focuses on Central Asian traditional ornamentation, exploring it as a language that both reflects and shapes politics, society and culture. This section’s focus on Central Asian female artists also reveals important powers that have been concealed by mainstream narratives.

Exploring Central Asia will help us break through the limitations of binary opposition to uncover more fluid ways of thinking about complexity and contradiction and learn the ways and wisdom of coexistence in diversity.

CHAT六廠特別展出

Special Display: CHAT at The Mills

踏 進南 豐 紗廠 的 紗廠 坊內，迎 接 參 觀者 的 是 古爾努爾‧穆卡扎諾娃的紡織裝置作品《希望 之影：昨日之過去，今日之當下》。這個作品由 兩個部份組成，於藝術家駐留香港CHAT六廠期 間開始創作，後續則於藝術家位於柏林的工作 室完成。橫跨紗廠坊一側的大型底布上，由不同 布料裁出的圖案組成新的敘事和形態；與之相 對的紡織抽象畫，則由哈薩克文化中的傳統物 料——手工氈化的羊毛製成。 這件裝置作品承載著當下時刻的轉變與焦慮， 同時亦呈現了解構與創造、連結與分離的對立 力量，這些感受推動著她的藝術創作。在令人不 安的不確定性中，其作品形式上彼此衝突矛盾的 部份，為這個希望的空間帶來脆弱和不穩定感， 伴隨著這些感覺，今日的碎片被一塊一塊拼湊到 對明日的想像之中。

日期 Date 24.03-23.04.2023 地點 Venue 南豐紗廠紗廠坊 The Hall, The Mills

時間 Time 10:00am-10:00pm

Welcoming visitors at The Hall of The Mills is a visually stunning two-part textile installation titled The Shadows of Hope: Yesterday's Past, Today's Present – a work that Gulnur Mukazhanova started during her residency at CHAT in Hong Kong, and later finished at her studio in Berlin.

Spanning one side of the hall is a largescale canvas-cloth that presents a new visual narrative and movement through fabric cut-outs. Facing it is an abstract textile painting made by hand-felted wool, a traditional material for Kazakh culture.

Embodied within the installation are the transitions and anxiety of the present moment, as well as the opposite forces of deconstruction and creation, connection and disconnection, that drive her work.

Amidst unsettling uncertainties, the formal characteristics of her work contains and withstands the conflict and movement of opposing forces, leaving space for hope – a fragile and ephemeral feeling that pins down the fragments of today into the dreams of tomorrow.

紗廠絮語

展覽 Exhibition

Welcome to the Spinning Factory! 陳廷驊基金會展廳

The D. H. Chen Foundation Gallery

南豐紗廠現時的建築曾是南豐紡織的棉紡廠房； 在陳廷驊基金會展廳內，髹上綠漆的牆和高窗是 本地紡織業輝煌歲月的痕跡。「紗廠絮語」將展示 香港紡織業簡要的起始和發展，輔以豐富照片、棉 紡舊物、文獻及藏品等。陳廷驊基金會展廳設有不 同部份，讓你親身操作舊式紡織工具，體驗棉紡過 程，甚至為你的棉紗成品設計標籤。

展覽圖片︰「紗廠絮語」 Exhibition view of Welcome to the Spinning Factory!

花樣百出：往來香港地緣之圖案 Patternways: Visualising Hong Kong in Transition 特別展示呈現 4 種對香港意義深遠的圖案，並聚 焦探討每款圖案的設計以及其曾流通的地區， 反映出香港這個城市多年來如何定義自身及把 握流變的地緣關係。

The special display presents 4 significant patterns of Hong Kong. Each pattern is examined as a designed product and the way it has circulated worldwide. By connecting us with other places, patterns reveal Hong Kong as a city constantly open to and defined by change.

The Mills building was formerly a cotton­ spinning factory owned by Nan Fung Textiles.

The green walls and high windows in The D. H. Chen Foundation Gallery are vestiges of the golden era of Hong Kong's textile industry. The exhibition Welcome to the Spinning Factory! will present a brief but intensive history of Hong Kong's textile industry, featuring rich imageries, vintage cotton products and archival documents and objects.

You are also invited to experience the manual cotton-spinning process using traditional spinning instruments, and design and create your own cotton label at the workshop stations in The D. H. Chen Foundation Gallery. 展覽空間設計:

What Hong Kong motifs do you spot on this wax print fabric? Egg waffle pans, mooncakes, or colourful fish from our Gold Fish markets?

Enjoy this cross-cultural furniture item that pays homage to Hong Kong’s textile industrial spirit in the form of wax print fabric, a textile produced and popularly worn across Africa and by the African diaspora.

Originally commissioned by CHAT for the special display ‘Patternways: Visualising Hong Kong in Transition’, this fabric titled Shared Routes was designed by Rachel Wood from the United Kingdom and printed by Akosombo Industrial Company Limited in Ghana. The wax printing process ensures that each yard of fabric is unique from the next. Now, the fabric transforms into a portable multifunctional furniture piece, in collaboration with local design collective BOOKNITURE.
