Historically, China and Japan have been the primary regions for the development of the lacquer
art form. Artisans have not only mastered a single method, but developed a variety of ways in which the
coating is used, both as a functional and a decorative material. Despite the long history of craftsmanship,
it is not tied to tradition but is constantly changing.
Taiwan is a geographical and cultural crossroads for China and Japan but also a region with
influences from Southeast Asia and Polynesia. This variegated culture is visible in Taiwan's craft
traditions and has significantly colored the material that appears in “A New Layer.” The exhibition
shows a broad palette of materials such as ceramics, wood, metal, wicker bamboo, fabric, pearl and
stone, all of it accompanied by lacquer work applied on the objects in various ways.
“A New Layer” is a collaboration between the designers Carina Seth Andersson, Matti Klenell,
Stina Löfgren, Gabriella Gustafson, Mattias Ståhlbom, National Taiwan Craft Research and
Development Institute (NTCRI) and the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities.
