Inspired by Ai Weiwei's Boomerang 2006 which hangs alongside, ‘Errant Objects’ explores the legacy of the readymade, assemblage and recontextualisations of cultural objects through works from our contemporary Asian art holdings.


 

‘Errant Objects’ was on display in QAG’s Watermall from 29 February 2020 to 8 August 2021.
