Tailpot fan and Art

-

The fans here are the Tailpot fan - commonly seen when a Buddhist monk is chanting but is also used to protect from the sun and rain.

When used by the monk there have been designs to reflect the event that the monk is attending - from the colour, the fabric used, the design on the fan and more.

The display here shows artists who have used a variety of different techniques to create fans which break the current limitations of the fan art and break into the contemporary scene.

For more information please click here - https://www.facebook.com/events/476498659434347/ . The exhibition closes on the 27th of May.
