FINE ARTS
Space K: "Not A Ceramic"
Contrary to the main material used in this collection, the exhibit is titled "Not A Ceramic." Organizers apparently chose the title to urge viewers to see beyond the raw material itself and contemplate contemporary life. 35 works are on display including mounted animals in ceramic by Maeng Wook-jae representing man’s greed and installations that evoke scenes from a play by Kang Eun-young.
