Arthology derives its name from the suffix “-ology”, meaning “the study of.” As its name suggests, Arthology is not just an exhibition platform, but a sustained inquiry into the ways art intersects with material, memory, and meaning. Founded in 2019 in Zhengzhou, China, Arthology operates as both a curatorial studio and a cross-cultural research platform that engages with contemporary craft, visual culture, and exhibition-making as critical methods.

In 2021, Arthology expanded to London, where it established a new branch to deepen its engagement with international artists and audiences. Wei Mo, the founder, serves as CEO of the London branch, while Tian Meng was appointed Director. Together, they oversee a curatorial programme that bridges geographies and sensibilities — fostering collaborations between East and West, tradition and experimentation, research and emotion.

At Arthology, exhibitions are not final statements, but propositions — open-ended, iterative, and grounded in material intelligence. The platform supports solo and group exhibitions, artist residencies, publishing projects, and academic partnerships, always with a focus on long-view thinking and sensitive curatorial rhythm.

Whether in China or the UK, Arthology remains committed to slow curating: holding space for artistic processes to unfold on their own terms.
