Xu Liaoyuan MoMA
Founded by renowned contemporary Chinese artist and designer Xu Liaoyuan, XLY MoMA is a comprehensive non-profit art institution that integrates contemporary art, design philosophy, and Eastern aesthetics. Located at 303, Unit 3, Hongsha Community, Sansheng Township, Jinjiang District, Chengdu, the museum is dedicated to promoting the development, dissemination, and education of contemporary design art.
Mission and Values
The vision of XLY MoMA is to create a contemporary art platform that fosters cross-disciplinary integration, avant-garde ideas, and a close connection with reality. Its core values are based on the belief that "design is thought" and "art is life," with a focus on material experimentation, spatial spirit, and cultural regeneration. Through exhibition planning, educational programs, international exchanges, and youth support initiatives, XLY MoMA aims to inspire creativity, promote cultural renewal, and build a space for innovative thinking and artistic expression.
Background and Vision of the Collaboration
In the process of rapid urban commercialization, Chengdu's traditional “teahouse life” is gradually declining. Tea, once the most critical public cultural carrier in the city, embodies the rhythm and warmth of the Chengdu people. This project aims to use “tea” as a medium to create a visible, usable, and perceptible community cultural field.
