International Ceramic and Glass Art in the 21st Century: Artist in Residence Exchange Program - Celebrating 10 years in Seto
11 February 2011 - 27 March 2011
This year, the SETO International Ceramic & Glass Arts Exchange Program, which invites four international artists each year to participate in glass and ceramic making and workshops, will celebrate its 10 year anniversary.Due to the rich deposits in the area which are conducive to glass and ceramic art, Seto has become famous as an art city and 'Seto-mono' has become a household name for ceramic or glass objects.
As one of the many Artist-In-Residence (AIR) programs in Japan, SETO has been running its program since 2000 and so far has invited 47 international guests from 21 countries who work with local artists and the city community.
For 2011, works from previous international and local artists who have participated in the alchemical exchange of artist residencies will be represented. Three works from Australia, Andrea Barker’s ‘Eastern thoughts’ (2003), Robin Best’s ‘Bryozan’ (2004), and Elizabeth Kelly’s ‘Small City’ (2008), have been invited for the exhibition.
In addition to the exhibition, a symposium on ceramic and glass art will be held on 26 February.
