The Korean Craft and Design Foundation (KCDF) presents ‘Between Serenity and Dynamism; Korean Ceramics’, an exhibition that explores the beauty and heritage of Korean ceramics, and the contrast and harmony between the traditional and more contemporary forms of the craft that exists in Korea today.
About
The exhibition will showcase the work of some of the most important ceramic masters and artists currently working in Korea, and features many collectable items on loan from museums, galleries and auction houses around the world. The exhibition marks the first in a three-year initiative by the Korean Craft and Design Foundation (KCDF), ‘Constancy and Change Korean Craft’, to showcase Korea’s rich craft and design heritage by focusing on its different materials and forms of craftsmanship each year. Clay and ceramics in 2017 will be followed by wood and mother-of-pearl in 2018, and textiles and metalwork in 2019. Of all of the Korean crafts covered in the programme, ceramics is the most steeped in history and tradition.
