Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art

Founded in 2013, The Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art is an international exhibition platform dedicated to the research, creation and presentation of contemporary fiber art. Initiated by the Contemporary Fiber Art Research Institute (formerly Maryn Varbanov Tapestry Research Centre), China Academy of Art, the Triennial is co-organized by the China Academy of Art and the Zhejiang Art Museum. The themes of the Triennials are “Fiber Visions” (2013), “Weaving & We” (2016), “Boundless Encounters” (2019), and “缓存在/Being Theoria” (2022). 

The opening of the 4th Hangzhou Triennial of Fiber Art is scheduled in October 2022 at Zhejiang Art Museum. The works will be presented in the six exhibition halls on the 1st and 2nd floors, as well as in public areas of the museum. 

The Triennial will co-curate a special project “Pure Reason”(净因, Jing Yin) with Hangzhou Museum, located in the city center on Wushan Hill (Liangdao Mountain), which will use the indoor public space of the Hangzhou Museum and outdoor space surrounding the pedestal of a stone pagoda pillar from Jingyin Temple (Five Dynasties), and invite artists to create works in situ.
