Back to the Future Through Antiquities

30 OCTOBER | HONG KONG

Antiquities exist in many different times at once; in the workshop in which they were made by the skilled hands of long forgotten artists, in every life and time through which they have subsequently passed, variously buried beneath palaces and cities, recollected by museums, and acquired by the hands of patrons. They are carried through time and space before finding themselves in the present moment, with every pair of hands adding another layer to their history, marks fleetingly left, before continuing on their journey.

The antiquities will be presented in partnership with Qatar Executive.
