The Tea Set (2018) by Rain WU
The Fondation Thalie is pleased to present The Tea Set, a work by Rain Wu, artist who has been in residence in 2018 at Fondation Thalie, Brussels.
The Tea Set is a series of narrative objects made by Rain Wu and that has been shown at The Design Museum London, Tate Modern, and Woodruff Art Centre, Atlanta (US).
The Tea Set illustrates the cultural history around a British cuppa through a devised Tea Ceremony with Eastern attention and appreciation. Made of grogged stoneware clay, The Tea Set alludes to a ritual unearthed from a distant time.
Rain Wu (1987, Taiwan)
Rain Wu is a Taiwanese-born artist, living and working between Maastricht, Brussels and London. Her works are concept driven and arch over a spectrum of materials, scales and spatial experiences. Her latest solo exhibition with Ralf Pflugfelder (as artist duo RARA) was hosted by Fondation Thalie in Brussels titled From Strata of Memory to Layers of Rock.
The Tea Ceremony will be held at Asia Now as an activation of Rain Wu's narrative sculpture The Tea Set. Guests at The Tea Ceremony will be served cups of English breakfast tea accompanied by narratives read by the artist highlighting Britain's cultural and socio-history of tea.
