GICBiennale 2011: International Competition
|
Ceramic artists from across the world are invited to the Gyeonggi International Ceramix Biennale 2011.
The biennale, which will start on September 23, 2011 and run for 30 days, will be staged in three cities of Gyeonggi Province – the heart and soul of Korean ceramics. Since 2001, the World Ceramic Biennale Korea (CEBIKO) has become a major international art festival for ceramic artists. Now we embark on a new adventure for decade ahead, taking up challenges along the way. To celebrate the change and innovation we have achieved since becoming the Korea Ceramic Foundation we proudly announce our Ceramix Art Festival. Here all genres of art will join with the world of ceramics under the theme ‘Journey from Fire’, and together will seek a new vision of ceramic art internationally. This biennale will bring us together for a special journey into our collective imagination. In this journey, hearts and minds of creative people from across the globe will be united as one: ‘clay’ as the medium, and passion for creation will be the ‘fire’. We hope that this grand design will establish a new and important aspect of mass culture, enabling artists – and art aficionados – to realize a new form of integrated and visionary communication. With a view to supporting ceramic artists around the world, the Korea Ceramic Foundation (KOCEF) also has in train plans to create art parks in the three Gyeonggi Province cities of Icheon, Yeoju, and Gwangju. Works by artists participating in the biennale will be permanently exhibited at these parks, which in turn will become a sort of ceramic utopia: Cerapia. |
The International Competition, one of the main parts of the biennale, has been a dynamic forum where the latest issues facing contemporary ceramics are explored since 2001. In the previous competition in 2009, we received big attention the world over; 1,726 artists from 70 countries submitted 3,196 artworks.
The events will be held for 30 days from September 24, 2011.
