IAC INTERNATIONAL MEMBERS’ EXHIBITION: INHERITANCE AND INNOVATION

| 28.06.2026 – 27.08.2026 |

Opening: 28.06.2026, 2pm

Members of the Jury: Lu Bin, Wayne Higby, Tan Hongyu, Lyu Pinchang , Jin Wenwei, Naho Yamashita

Curators: Zhang Jingjing, Li Chao

This exhibition aims to present and develop the main theme of the conference: ‘Ceramics, Inheritance and Innovation’, bearing in mind that Neolithic techniques such as AI-related tools can be used to create contemporary art. The artwork presented develop this theme in a relevant, striking and innovative way, with their materials, tools and cultural back grounds and horizons.

The only traditions are those that have survived. While tradition seems to be structured around repetition, which leads to perfection, it can also lead to boredom when it loses the energy that gave birth to it. A tradition that has survived is therefore one that has found a way to nurture this repetition so that its values can continue to be embodied, but which has also allowed changes to be integrated in order to meet fundamental human needs. We are permanence and transformation, and the practice of ceramics feeds on this apparent contradiction.
