Generation Clay: Reimagining Asian Heritage is an exhibition celebrating the vibrant versatility of clay, presented by a new generation of Asian-Australian contemporary artists. Together, these artists are reimagining traditional and ceramic forms in ways that resonate with our current moment.
This exhibition will engage with a multiplicity of concepts – from personal histories and memories, cultural heritage and family ties to mythological and popular culture narratives. Curated by Vipoo Srivilasa, a recognised leader in the field of ceramics, Generation Clay started with fourteen artists from across Australia being invited to create a new work using a palette of predominately blue and white. The colour blue is also a unifying feature of the exhibition’s design, alluding to the wider discourses of blue and white patterning, it’s connections to global movement and its reinterpretation and translation through form and motif over time.
Nestled in the heart of the exhibition is ‘The Bloom Room’ a special making area where exhibition visitors can participate in a range of changing monthly activities, from hand-crafting origami flowers and tiny clay objects, to sharing secret powers and stories, ‘The Bloom Room’ is your space to create, connect and collaborate with the artworks and artists featured in Generation Clay.
Artists: Armie Sungvaribud, Asahi So, Casey Chen, Dai Li, EJ Son, Jayanto Tan, Mai Nguyễn-Long, Monica Rani Rudhar, Nani Puspasari, Theodosius Ng, Yang Qiu, Yen Yen Lo, Yoko Ozawa, Zhu Ohmu.
