Exchange
Korea/Japan/USA

Schmidt Center Gallery
February 1 - March 30, 2002

Artists in the Exhibition: The FAU presentation includes Yi-Chul Shin, Han-Kee Cho (Korea), Aoi Okabayashi (Japan), Tori Arpad, Seo Eo and Heidi Preuss-Grew (USA).

Modern and contemporary ceramic artists have often looked to East Asia's ceramic art for technical and aesthetic inspiration. This exhibition presents artists from Korea, Japan and the USA who have created an exchange to explore the rich territory of traditions and current practice of ceramic arts. In 2000 this group of 15 artists exhibited in Seoul and Tokyo, and will now show their works in four South Florida venues including the Morikami Museum and Miami Dade Community College.
