Ceramics, Embracing the Aesthetic Enjoyment
  • Period 2024-06-21 ~ 2024-09-26
  • 내용 Ceramics not only occupy space as they are located and used in certain places, but themselves can also represent a space. Engaging with these characteristics of ceramics, this exhibition explores ceramics and space together under the theme of pungnyu―aesthetic enjoyment.
    By definition, the word pungnyu, translated here as aesthetic enjoyment, means “to enjoy [nature and arts] in an elegant and tasteful manner.” The literati of the Joseon period engaged in gatherings for aesthetic enjoyment in nature and took pleasure in sharing tea and alcohol, composing and reciting poems, and listening to music. This exhibition seeks to illuminate the culture of aesthetic enjoyment in the Joseon Dynasty by exploring various pavilions in the Gwangju and Jeonnam region that served as representative sites of aesthetic appreciation, along with a rich array of ceramics that each embodied an ideal space.
    Pavilions at the foot of Mudeungsan Mountain were gathering places for local intellectuals to engage in academic study and literary exchange. At the same time, they were also places of aesthetic enjoyment, where the literary would gather to write and read poetry while enjoying alcoholic drinks and tea. The ceramics used in the pavilions were a medium that helped foster a culture of aesthetic appreciation and discussion. Furthermore, ceramics themselves were reimagined as spaces of aesthetic enjoyment. The milk-white surface of white porcelain served as a canvas through which to express one’s aesthetic ideals, decorated with a landscape, a lavish array of rare and valuable items, a scene of one’s own front garden, or an image of precious flowers and plants of virtue.
    We invite you to a space where you can appreciate the elegance of the Joseon literati through ceramic vessels of aesthetic enjoyment and find comfort and pleasure amidst busy lives.

    Minds Rising, Spirits Tuning, the central exhibition of the 13th Gwangju Biennale features a dynamic program that includes an exhibition, a performance program, a publishing platform, as well as online and offline series of public forums that bring together artists, theoretical scientists, and systems thinkers. Directed by Defne Ayas and Natasha Ginwala, Minds Rising, Spirits Tuning sets forth to examine the spectrum of the ‘extended mind’ through artistic and theoretical means.
    The exhibition in Gwangju National Museum unveils a dialogue with conceptions of death and the afterlife, reparation of spirit-objects, corporeal limits of the body as well as acts of mourning through newly commissioned works by Theo Eshetu, Trajal Harrell, Gala Porras-Kim, and Cecilia Vicuna. From the ephemeral aura of a flower mandala by Chrysanne Stathacos to the loneliness of a desert necropolis by Ali Cherri, artistic and historical works will attune to linkages of ancestry, visions of the afterlife, non-western mappings of ailment and cure, and the foundational role of the undead in shaping registers of “the real” across the world(s) of the living.
