\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>[vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Conduct small-scale curatorial research in restricted spaces, from micro-materials, texts, objects, images, sculptures, paintings to digital, breaking the emotional interaction between visitors and space.<\/span><\/p>\n

How about small?<\/span>
\nSmall things are big things, and the big things in the world must be done in detail.<\/span>
\nSmall materials are used for small objects, and leftover materials are a great source of cherished resources.<\/span>
\nSmall exhibitions are not to be underestimated, and aesthetics, design, and presentation are all about attention<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspired by “Formalism”, which refers to the emphasis on form rather than content in art, literature and philosophy.<\/span>
\nIn today’s digital age, life is gradually being swallowed up by fast consumption. When we felt that the “sense of ritual” and “details” were not present, we met Ming-Hui by chance who is the owner of Allong\u00e9 caf\u00e9, together we propose this project on reflection of slow living<\/span><\/p>\n

The first wave of mini musuem invited Xu Cui, the founder and designer of Pinwuji, a local fine wood design brand from Chongqing. Xu graduated from the Sculpture Department of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts with a master degree. He is currently teaching in the Product Design Department of Chongqing Jiaotong University, also a member of Chongqing Creative Designers Association and Chongqing Sculpture Association.<\/span><\/p>\n

Xu mainly designs products across borders with sculptural feel and hand-made working methods. He condenses the feeling of life on the material and presents it in the form of objects, opening up another imagination for woodware design.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carpentry Cobblestone Metro Card challenges the rigid and cold electronic traffic card, and plays with practical and collectible daily objects in a tea ceremony-like of “elegant ritual”.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cobblestone Metro Card in the on-site exhibition is the Shanghai version, retail price: RMB 260, and also accepts customization from other cities. The delivery time for hand-made customization is about 7-10 days. The wood species of products are: black walnut, beech , large fruit red sandalwood, iron wood beans, green sandalwood, purple sandalwood, purple core wood, cypress and so on.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]
