2024 Taiwan Ceramics Biennale
Content:
Since 2004, the New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum has hosted the "Taiwan Ceramics Biennale". The first and second editions (in 2004 and 2008) allowed ceramic artists from all over the world to submit their pieces into the competition. Artistic pieces that won were exhibited at the museum. From 2010 onward, the museum changed the event from a competition to a thematic system, allowing artists to collaborate on exhibitions fitting a designated theme. Since then, the museum has alternated every two years between the competitions and thematic approaches.
The 2024 Taiwan Ceramics Biennale is held as a competition. This year marks the 10th edition of the event, and has set a new record for the highest number of submissions with a total of 1,216 submissions from 66 countries. The competition judges, composed of seven international ceramic experts, selected 20 award-winning pieces through a two-stage evaluation process. This includes one Grand Prix, one Gold, one Silver, one Bronze, nine Special Mentions, seven Jury’s Recommendations, and 54 selected works.
