The first annual international celadon exhibition held in New Taipei City brings together a collection of some 172 pieces of celadon porcelain that represent historical styles and contemporary innovations from Taiwan, Mainland China, Korea, and Japan. Included here are representative pieces from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty in China; Goryeo era celadon; and Japanese Arita and Sanda region celadon dating as far back as the 17th century. Cross-influence played a role in the developmental history of porcelain from these regions, but each developed their own unique regional characteristics. The exhibition also includes 121 pieces of contemporary celadon works. Large-scale exhibitions that include celadon representing both the breadth of geography and depth of history are truly rare in the world. The city of New Taipei has a solid foundation in ceramic and porcelain production, as well as a wealth of talented ceramicists. With proactive planning and implementation of cultural and industrial development policies, the city’s government hopes to bring out the vitality and richness of Taiwan’s ceramics by presenting the diverse offering of ceramic culture and ceramic industries. Through the “Ambient Green Flow” exhibition, we have brought together the results of celadon research conducted at the College of Ceramics, as well as established creative and academic forums on celadon creation, in an effort to solidify the execution of New Taipei City’s cultural and artistic strength and provide superior artistic exhibition content for the citizens of New Taipei City. In addition, the exhibition promotes a cultural exchange between New Taipei City and the rest of the world. Undoubtedly, the cultural life of our citizens will be enriched through this historically significant, fascinating, and meaningful exhibition of celadon. As well as my best wishes for a successful exhibition, I would also like to express my gratitude to the Zhejiang Provincial Museum, the Gangjin Celadon Museum, The Kyushu Ceramic Museum, Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum, the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park, the Chang Foundation as well as the departments, institutions and ceramists who have given their support to this exhibition. My thanks too to our friends in museums who have selflessly loaned us their national treasures and world-class works of art, and to everyone at the Ceramics Department at the China Academy of Art and at Department of Ceramics and Glass at the Hongik University in Korea for their enthusiastic support – enabling us this opportunity to appreciate these exquisite works of celadon.Enable GingerCannot connect to Ginger Check your internet connection
