The wonderful Treasure Hunt tapestry is currently showing at ARC ONE Gallery as part of Guan Wei's solo exhibition Chivalry alongside new paintings and sculptures by the artist.

Woven by Chris Cochius, Pamela Joyce, Jennifer Sharpe and Cheryl Thornton, Treasure Hunt is inspired by a large painted mural from Guan Wei’s exhibition Other Histories at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney in 2006. Drawing on Chinese and European mythologies, the work considers ‘other’ histories and the intersection of Indigenous and colonial cultural narratives. Through the depiction of the oceans, islands and desert interiors, Guan Wei references navigation, exploration, migration and the influence of, and response to, globalisation.

The exhibition continues until 20 December 2018 at Arc One Gallery.
