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.

Four IAC Awards will be presented during the exhibition, recognising outstanding contributions in the fields of tradition, innovation, cultural exchange, and emerging artistic practice.

“Porcelain Future — Inheritance and Innovation in Contemporary Chinese Ceramics” is a major exhibition project of the 52nd IAC Congress. As the guest country exhibition, it is themed “Porcelain Future” and is grounded in the global development trajectory of ceramic art, embracing a diverse international perspective. It focuses on the multifaceted evolution of contemporary Chinese ceramics in terms of materials, techniques, concepts, and dissemination.

The exhibition is closely aligned with global artistic developments and turns its attention toward future sustainable growth, adopting a broader perspective to examine contemporary ceramic practice today. Through the artworks, it constructs a curatorial narrative of “traditional lineage — contemporary practice — future innovation,” presenting new formal languages, knowledge structures, and outcomes of cross-cultural exchange emerging from Chinese ceramics within its continuity of heritage.

The exhibition will systematically showcase the historical depth, contemporary vitality, and international connections of the Chinese contemporary ceramic ecosystem. In doing so, it aims to enhance the academic quality, professional identity, and public communication impact of the IAC.
