In the mid-12th century, Korean artists introduced the technique of
using black and white inlays beneath green glaze to depict floating
clouds, cranes, and flowers on ceramics. A later, quite different
version of this practice, known as sanggam, produced lively, abstract
patterns with white pigment alone. In this talk, Dr. Pamela Vandiver,
professor of materials science and engineering at the University of
Arizona, investigates this amazing technology and its evolution at a
microscopic level. This lecture is made possible by the generous support
of the National Museum of Korea.

Korean Artist Project (KAP), which comprises three-year plan spanning
from 2011 to 2013, is a global online platform that presents a series of
virtual exhibitions featuring artworks by Korean contemporary artists
to internationally promote them, allowing them to enter into the global
art arena.
Now in its second year, it is hosted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and organized by the Korean Art Museum Association.
Following
the first year 2011 in which 21 Korean artists participated, the second
year 2012 includes new more 21 Korean contemporary artists, presenting
approximately more than 1500 artworks with a wide variety of genres
including painting, sculpture, drawing, installation, and photography as
well as video and digital art.
A total of 42 participating artists
were selected by a number of curators from 19 Korean art museums and
then juried by Korean and international art critics. For more info,
