First Arts Council is a new installation work by Tang Da Wu, featuring contributions by Pan Jia Ding, Zai Kuning and Jeremy Hiah.
A house with transparent walls: in it are a chair and the figures of two children. There is a bundle of drumsticks; the chair is encased in perspex. One child appears to be dancing whilst the other is squatting. A large-scale painting of a woman sewing clothes hangs on the wall. The “glass” house is bracketed by drawings of the children wearing clothes sewn by the woman, and by drawings from the three contributing artists.
