1001 Cups - Contemporary ceramics, Trip around the World from India to Switzerland
Most civilizations developed a range of different techniques to make cups out of clay since their earliest days.
In India, the cradle of Indus civilization, a teacup called kulhar, made of terra-cotta and fired at low temperature, was used only once and then discarded. It has been used for centuries but is now in danger of being replaced by the mass-produced plastic cups.
1001 Cups presents 1000 cups by one-hundred international artists and artisans plus one traditional Indian terra cotta cup: a kulhar. Thus this is a travelling exhibition of 1001 cups to the world. Each ceramist participating in the exhibition produced a series of ten cups and showed an amazing variety of expressive and aesthetic possibilities through their own cultural references. From Korea, five ceramic artists (Lee Se-yong, Lee Yong-ho, Lee In-su, Jeong Gil-yeong, and Huh Sang-uk) showed widely varying possibilities of Korean ceramics.
This traveling exhibition started in New Delhi in India. In Korea, the exhibition will be shown for 45 days from June 1 through July 15, 2010 at Icheon World Ceramic Center. During this time, a special documentary film will be run and a workshop with ceramists from Switzerland and Korea will be held.
