The Project

Through form and decorative narrative in chinoiserie we can discuss value and taste, fantasy, replication and stereotyping of images. So too, the darker elements of chinoiserie’s historical routes; identity politics, racism, trade and production values, authorship and the contested territory of exoticism. This project looks to unpick these themes through contemporary art, to shed light on how pervasive Chinese culture, industry and aesthetics are in our everyday lives.

Sinopticon works as a long term project founded by artists Gayle Chong Kwan and Stephanie Douet and curator Eliza Gluckman. Today the project is curated, researched and continually developed by Eliza Gluckman and Lucy Day (Day&Gluckman), a curatorial partnership in collaboration with partners. We look to commission new works, curate exhibitions, respond to the historical and create new dialogues. The blog is run by one of the founding artists, Stephanie Douet.

Following the success of the exhibition, SINOPTICON {Plymouth}, we have developed an exhibition for Danson House (Bexley Heritage Trust) in Kent responding to strands of the SINOPTICON project; namely taste, collecting and trade. The house was built on money from sugar plantations as a status symbol and homage to pleasure. The exhibition will include works commissioned for SINOPTICON, such as Laura Whites phenomenal 24 plinthed sculptures as well as new commissions and artists: April-October 2013.
