The Fourth Dimension: To the Future of Vessels

Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Art / Ceramic Art Messe Mashiko
Finished
The shape of vessels is the most basic form of ceramics. Various artists in all times and places have tried to create vessels while closely relating to their respective cultures. Linking up with the Mashiko Museum Residency Program, this exhibition will introduce the Mashiko Museum of Ceramic Art’s collections, which includes the works of modern masters, along with the works of currently practicing artists. Through approximately 50 works by 33 artists from Japan and abroad, we will look at the ways the shape of the vessel is expressed. (The term “vessel” here does not necessarily mean functional wares. )We will also pay attention to the works of artists who pursue the shape of vessels (a shape that has a rim and is formed by the inner and outer shapes) and artists who understand the shape of vessels in a philosophical dimension by relating them to the process of creating works.
