Korean Ceramic Artists in America - Oct 12th - Dec 31st, 2023

https://www.theclaystudio.org/exhibitions/between-horizons

Between Horizons | 경계를 넘어서 explores the human instinct to travel and pursue new ideas through the artwork of twelve artists who began their ceramic education in Korea before moving to the US for graduate work. Their ceramic sculptures embody the shifting personal narratives generated by the brave decision to move to a new country in search of new perspectives. The exhibition will explore questions around how this geographic change impacted their identity as artists, how experiencing new culture has impacted their making and thinking about art, and how they each see themselves after experiencing two distinct societies. They each have the perspective of seeing their homeland and their chosen home both from within, and out on the horizon.

The topic is particularly timely for our institution after our own recent move, and our commitment to our new neighborhood where many immigrant families live.
