  • Foreword
    Director of New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum
    Established in 2000, the Yingge Ceramics Museum has made efforts on all fronts of localization, nationalization and internationalization. In addition to the continued research and archiving of the development of Taiwanese ceramic culture, we have actively broadened our horizons through international exchanges, so that the museum can better serve as a platform for exchange for Taiwanese and global ceramic arts, catalyzing more ceramic sparks and vitality. Subsequent to the cooperative effort with museums in Japan and Korea that resulted in the “Asian Ceramic Delta Exhibition” in 2007, the “Contemporary Ceramic Art in Taiwan” exhibition in 2008, and the “Contemporary Ceramic Art in China” exhibition in 2009, our research focus this year on East Asian Celadon has brought together celadon work from Korea, Japan, Mainland China and Taiwan, with a retrospective on the development and propagation of ancient celadon. This exhibition will introduce the celadon production technology that originated in China, and the influence this technology has had on the neighboring lands of Korea, Japan and Taiwan through several millennia. Contemporary ceramists have also been invited to discuss new approaches and innovations in celadon, expressing the divergent paths of development and artistic character unique to each region. To promote the elegance and enduring intrigue of celadon, the Ceramics Museum held two sessions of our course on “The Study of Celadon Enamel Composition and Kiln Firing Techniques”. Completed student works from the course will be simultaneously exhibited in “The Creative Results of Glaze and Firing Workshop” – which will serve as an example of how the ancient celadon tradition continues to be passed on. The success of this exhibition has been the combined effort of numerous museums and ceramicists working in Korea, Japan, Mainland China and Taiwan, as well as the loan of a number of priceless celadon works from their collections. We hope that through this exhibition of “Ambient Green Flow – the Emergence and Rise of East Asian Celadon”, members of the public will gain an appreciation for the charms of celadon, as well as broaden their horizons on the culture of celadon in East Asia.
