Tsang Kin-Wah’s beautiful I Love U text pattern wallpapers the bathrooms at Chinese Arts Centre as part of his UK solo exhibition What are you looking at? Taking this stunning work out of the interior space, we have commissioned Tsang to create a special adaptation of the pattern to cover the outside of the building. The delicate floral motif made up of cheeky phrases in English and Chinese wraps around the large windows that form the outside of the Centre, transforming the building into a bold new art work to be viewed from the street.
The commission is being installed to mark the arrival of Chinese Arts Centre’s new shop, tea house and resource area as well as offering free wireless. The redesigned space in the front of the centre features new ranges of artist designed jewellery, leather items, soft furnishings and craft items and full range of glass Chinese teaware.
In amongst the design items and specialist teas is our new resource area where you can relax with a cup of Chinese tea and browse books, magazines, journals and videos selected by the artists and curators to contextualise and provide further insight into the work currently showing at the centre.
