'Candice Lin: Pigs and Poison is published on the occasion of a significant commission and touring exhibition of the same name, co-commissioned by Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in New Plymouth in Aotearoa, New Zealand, the Guangdong Times Museum in Guangzhou in China, and Spike Island in Bristol in the UK, and presented at the three organizations between 2020 and 2022. Lin’s title refers to the nineteenth-century trade in Chinese indentured laborers—disparagingly called “pigs”—and to opium, or “poison,” which in the same period was imported by the British to China and used as both a commodity and a mechanism for controlling the workers who became addicted to it.' — extracted from the publisher's website
