Archipelago installation view

Michael Lin's Archipelago is staged in the first-floor public space and on the outdoor building of MOCA Toronto. Archipelago is intended to be composed of a chain of separate, but related, islands. Presented as installations with fabric patterns in MOCA, Lin's arrangement of the islands follow the direction of the spaces, juxtaposing the architectural space and florals to create spaces that feel both softer and more tranquil. Visitors are invited to position themselves within an island to take a rest or communicate with others, and to reconsider their perception of the space around them.

Xu Bing's artwork for the 2018 Mouton Rothschild label is illustrated in Square Word Calligraphy, which resembles traditional Chinese characters but is actually composed of the Latin alphabet spelling out MOUTON ROTHSCHILD. Through this unique calligraphy he invented, Xu demonstrates his linguistic creativity by incorporating foreign words into the codes of traditional Chinese ideography, allowing the script to absorb the ideology of traditional Chinese characters.
