HART Visiting Artist-in-Residence 藝術家駐留計劃 - Micromégas 3: Mae Chan and Mona Cara 微觀巨世 3：陳潔婷及 Mona Cara


  • HART HAUS 3/F Cheung Hing Industrial Building, 12P Smithfield Kennedy Town, Hong Kong Island Hong Kong SAR China (map)

Micromégas is a media art residency co-organised by the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, Videotage, and cneai=. Designed as a recurring programme since 2021, the residency features an annual theme that fosters deeper cultural exchange between France and Hong Kong.

The 2025 edition focuses on the intersection of craftsmanship and technology, featuring artists who integrate manual craftwork and programmed production in their practices. This year, with HART HAUS and Yishu8 as Residency Partners, the programme brings together two artists — Mae Chan (Hong Kong) and Mona Cara (Paris) — for a cross-cultural exchange taking place in October and November. Both artists will research local textile artisanality and explore contemporary technologies available in their host cities.

Hong Kong-based multidisciplinary artist Mae Chan will undertake her residency at cneai= and Yishu8 in Paris, developing her textile sculpture project that integrates advanced tools such as 3D-printing, with traditional fibre techniques like wool carding and needle felting. Meanwhile, French artist Mona Cara, known for her hybrid textile works that explore the pictorial and sculptural dimensions of warp and weft, will be hosted at HART HAUS in Hong Kong, with research support from Videotage. She will study traditional weaving methods, while engaging with advanced textile design and development initiatives in the city.

They will share their exchange experiences through a public event at HART HAUS on 13 November (Thursday). Stay tuned for more information!

《微觀巨世》由法國駐香港及澳門總領事館、錄映太奇及 cneai= 合辦，是一項於 2021 年展開的媒體藝術駐留計劃。作為常設項目，計劃每年設有不同主題，旨在加深法國與香港之間的文化交流。

2025 年的主題聚焦於工藝與科技的交匯，邀請融合手工技藝與程式化製作的藝術家參與。今年的駐留計劃得到藝術八和 HART HAUS 的支持，將分別於十月及十一月為陳潔婷（香港）和 Mona Cara（巴黎）展開跨文化交流。兩位藝術家將在各自的駐留城市研究當地的紡織工藝傳統，並探索可應用的當代技術。

香港跨媒介藝術家陳潔婷將於巴黎的 cneai= 和藝術八駐留，創作其結合 3D 列印等進階技術與羊毛梳理、針氈等傳統纖維工藝的「紡織雕塑」。同時，法國藝術家 Mona Cara 將在香港的 HART HAUS 駐留，並獲得錄映太奇的研究支援。她的混合織物創作探索布料在經紗、緯紗之間產生的繪畫性與雕塑性，駐留期間將學習傳統編織技藝，並進一步了解本地的紡織設計及研發項目。

兩位藝術家將於 11 月 13 日（星期四）齊聚 HART HAUS，向公眾分享其駐留經驗。請繼續留意稍後公佈消息！

About the Artists 藝術家簡介

Featured
Mona Cara
Mona Cara

Trained at the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the École des Arts Décoratifs, Mona Cara (b. 1997 in Hyères, lives and works in Paris) develops a practice that merges weaving, sculpture, and installation, where craftsmanship, industrial technology, and popular culture intersect. Through jacquard weaving, she creates monumental works that echo the tradition of historical tapestry.

Her vibrant textile frescoes oscillate between wonder and chaos. Drawing on references from pop culture — from Doctor Who to Peppa Pig — her visual language playfully subverts the codes of childhood to expose the fractures of our time. By deliberately introducing errors and glitches into the weaving process, she brings poetic ruptures into the mechanical rigor of the loom: patterns unravel, colors burst, and images blur.

Recipient of the Public Prize Crush (Gaël Charbau, 2021), she has taken part in the Lyon Biennale (2024), completed residencies at Villa Panthéon (Paris) and Solar dos Abacaxis (Rio de Janeiro), and exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum near Rotterdam. Her works have entered the French public collections of the MAC Lyon and the FRAC Occitanie.

In 2025–2026, she presented her first solo exhibition at Galerie Idéale (Paris), alongside shows at the PARCC in Labenne and the Centre d’Art Le Safran in Amiens.

Mona Cara 1997 年在法國耶爾出生，現於巴黎工作和生活。她曾在巴黎國立高等美術學院和國立高等裝飾藝術學院接受訓練，發展出一套融合編織、雕塑和裝置的藝術實踐，並揉合手工藝、工業科技和流行文化。她透過提花織布，創作出與傳統歷史壁毯相呼應的作品。

她的濕壁畫織物個性鮮明，徘徊在奇觀與亂象之間。她的視覺語言從《異世奇人》（Doctor Who）到《粉紅豬小妹》（Peppa Pig）等流行文化標誌間取材，充滿玩味地顛覆了孩提時熟悉的符號，揭示茫茫人生的裂縫。她也透過蓄意保留散開的花紋、混合織料顏色和圖案模糊等錯處，將詩意的斷裂帶進機械化的織布工序。

Mona 於 2021 年曾獲選參與巴黎國立高等美術學院的《Crush》群展 ，並曾參與里昂雙年展（2024），也在巴黎第五區區政廳「Villa Panthéon」和里約熱內盧 Solar dos Abacaxis 完成駐留。她的作品曾於荷蘭斯希丹市立博物館展出，並獲里昂當代藝術博物館和歐西坦尼地區當代藝術收藏（FRAC Occitanie）列為公眾館藏。

2025 至 2026 年，她在巴黎 Galerie Idéale 舉辦首個個人展覽，並在拉貝納當代藝術中心（PARCC Labenne）和亞眠 Centre d’Art Le Safran 展出她的作品。

Mae Chan 陳潔婷 (HK)
Mae Chan 陳潔婷 (HK)

Mae Chan (b.1991) graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in Textiles. Her practice is a multi-disciplinary fusion of textiles, sculpture and craft.

Rooted in the poetic, narrative, and artisanal traditions, Chan's mixed-media sculptures reframe objects within different contexts of intimacy, boundary, and judgment. Playing with the semiotics of form and touch, she dissects subtle emotional shifts, leveraging the human form as a foundational metaphor.  

Chan received the 'Developing Your Creative Practice' Grant from Arts Council England. She was a finalist nominee for the 2021 Ingram Prize. Her work has been exhibited in Thrown (UK), London Craft Week (UK), Visual Arts Scotland (UK), Unit 1 Gallery | Workshop (UK), Young Space Views (UK), Kühlhaus (Germany), Søndre Green (Norway) and HART(HK).

陳潔婷生於 1991 年，畢業於英國皇家藝術學院碩士學位（混合媒材, 紡織）。 她的實踐是紡織、雕塑和工藝的多學科融合。

植根於詩意、敘事和手工傳統，陳的雕塑在親密、邊界和判斷的多重背景下重新構建物體。 她運用形狀和触覺，剖析微妙的情緒變化，將人類形態作為基本隱喻。

陳獲得了英國藝術委員會頒發的“發展你的創作實踐”獎金。 她是 2021 年Ingram Prize的入圍者。 她的作品曾於倫敦、柏林、挪威及香港等展出。
