‘Who is Weaving the Sky Net?’ gathers 18 artists using textile, fabric and weaving as means to interrogate our understanding of the universe and existence. Art’s significant role in constructing the fabric of reality is the jumping-off point for this group show at Yeo Workshop in Singapore. The gallery offers the Buddhist metaphor of Indra’s Net—which, roughly, means that each part mirrors and influences the whole—as an additional conceptual pillar. Iranian artist Leila Seyedzadeh, for example, makes landscape-like tapestries that originate in the unconscious and memory. Fragments from these disparate realms are spliced together, resulting in vistas that look at once familiar and fantastical. Featured as well is Lai Thi Dieu Ha, who is a towering figure in Hanoi’s contemporary performance scene, and expanded her practice to textile and fashion in order to delve into identity and psychology."
