At K. A. Almgren Silk Weaving Mill and Museum, the present meets the past. As the only active silk weaving mill in the Nordic region, silk fabrics and ribbons are still woven on original machines in their authentic factory setting from the 1860s. It is also a venue for exhibitions and programs infused with the art of textile craftsmanship.

As a Chinese artist in Sweden, Ting Wang lives and creates in a paradox: she tries to melt into Swedish society while at the same time holding on more strongly than ever to her Chinese identity. Identity, as well as craft – being made up from a series of frames; tradition, aesthetics, perceptions and values – are actually liquid. The frames change when she changes; they change when she observes them, touches them and pushes them. This time, Ting worked with silk, a material that is full of codes and traditions, which varies when looked at through a Western or an Eastern lens. Through negotiating with the material and the process, Ting would like to visualise the melting frames around material, life and society.

In her artist talk, textile artist Ting Wang offers insight into the artistic process behind the ongoing exhibition “Liquid Frames”, in which she explores the frameworks that shape identity and craft — for example, through tradition, aesthetics, perceptions, and values. As a Chinese artist in Sweden, Ting Wang lives and creates in a paradox: she tries to melt into Swedish society while at the same time holding on more strongly than ever to her Chinese identity. But the stronger she holds on, the faster it slips away. Textile craft is an important tool helping her to re-orientate in this liquid reality.
