INTERNATIONAL CERAMIC BIENNALE – KOREA Deadline: 31st of May 2011
Ceramic artists from across the world are invited to this International Biennale of Ceramics 2011.
The biennale, which will start on September 23, 2011 and run for 30 days, will be staged in three Korean cities. All genres of art will join with the world of ceramics under the theme ‘Journey from Fire’, and together will seek a new vision of ceramic art internationally. The organization plans also to create art parks in the three cities and winning works by artists participating in the biennale will be permanently exhibited at these parks.
The organization is looking to move beyond the standard dichotomy between the categories of ceramic design and art, and attempt to reinterpret the traditional values of ceramics. Design, art, as well as reexaminations of traditional genres are all welcome. The organization welcomes entries that include other materials/techniques from other artistic genres, but the majority of the works should be ceramic.
Each entrant may submit up to three entries. The competition is open to individual artists and groups. There are no nationality or age restrictions. A single entry should be – when displayed – within these specified dimensions: 250cm (width); 250cm (depth); 250cm (height). Works must have been created within the last three years and must not have been entered into other competitions.
