By Chloe Elliott, Vivien Chan, Natalie Russett, Sunshine Wong| Corridor8 Verified In the 1920s, the Tianglongshan Grottoes in Shanxi Province, China, were plundered, following their rediscovery by Japanese historian Sekino Tadashi in 1918. Foreign collectors removed numerous sculptures and artefacts from the site, selling them to museums and private collectors and museums around the world, including the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Suddenly, the art market became flooded with hundreds of Buddhas, often in fragmentary forms.
By Iona Glen, Susannah Thompson, Lucy Wright, Natalie Russett| Corridor8 Verified A bear’s head with a cape of hessian. A cat-like fanged beast with flares of fringing. A large-eared donkey woven from brown paper. Human costumes accompany this bestiary: white dandelion-seed cut-outs make a veil for a colourful floral headpiece, and repurposed brown packaging forms a robe of draped, twisted and braided paper, hung with small woven baskets and moulded paper-pulp trinkets of a bird’s head, sun and moon.
