Project

A bachelor’s student at the KABK, Malaysian textile artist Marcos Kueh wove his graduation masterpiece in the lab: an eight-metre-long tapestry called ‘Kenyalang Circus’. The colourful and richly patterned work earned him the Ron Mandos Young Blood Award. Museum Voorlinden has since acquired the tapestry for its collection. Kueh also took part in the lab’s inaugural Advanced Textile Program this year.
