Main Exhibition: Earth Makes

The main exhibition of the 2026 Gyeonggi Ceramics Biennale, Earth Makes, curated by Artistic Director Daehyung Lee, approaches ceramics as a living medium through which the forces and time of the Earth reveal themselves. Clay is not a passive material that merely receives form; it is an active collaborator that creates works together with the artist through heat and gravity, moisture and pressure, chemical reactions, and unpredictable transformations. Lee moves beyond the question, “Who made it?” and asks instead what is generated at the moment when human intention meets the autonomy of matter, and when the subjectivity of the hand encounters planetary time.

The exhibition is composed of three chapters: Chapter 1 Made from Earth, Chapter 2 Made by Earth, and Chapter 3 Made in Earth. The first chapter follows the generative process in which clay, water, and fire merge with the responsiveness of material and the possibilities of chance. The second chapter examines how soil, climate, and the properties of water have influenced local ways of life, cultural practices, and aesthetic sensibilities. The third chapter expands ceramics into a planetary medium that conveys the climate crisis, technological civilization, and post-human imagination.

Within the main exhibition, Focus Australia is a specially highlighted section that connects the Australian land, First Nations communities, ceramic traditions, and contemporary art. Curated by Commissioner Natalie King, this section expands the concerns of Earth Makes through the memories accumulated in Australia’s land and clay, the knowledge of communities, and a deep sense of place and time.

    Chapter 3 Project: Dear Future

Chapter 1 Made from Earth
Chapter 1 Made from Earth follows the process through which clay, water, and fire come together and transform into form and presence. Clay is not a material passively configured by the artist’s hand, but a living substance that dries, cracks, bends, and responds on its own. Participating artists carefully attend to the weight and humidity of clay, the heat of the kiln, and changes in the atmosphere, listening to the movements revealed by the material rather than attempting to fully control its form. Here, cracks, distortions, changes in color, and accidental traces are not failures or defects, but essential elements that complete the work. This chapter reveals that ceramics are not made by human effort alone, but are the result of a generative process whereby clay interacts with water, fire, time, and the conditions of the Earth.

Chapter 2 Made by Earth
Chapter 2 Made by Earth explores how regionality and locality have shaped specific ceramic modes. Environmental factors such as soil particles, water properties, and differences climate have influenced the forms and colors of vessels used in each place, as well as the ways people store, eat, share, and develop communal practices. Participating artists begin with local clay, everyday culture, the wisdom of storage, and tools of daily life, translating the time and memory accumulated in specific places into their works. The ceramics in this chapter contain the cultural landscapes that land and people have shaped together over a long period of time. Here, ceramics expand beyond the creative act of an individual artist into sensory records of the Earth, formed through the interweaving of place and community, nature and life.

  • Chapter 2 Project: Wind, Light, Earth

    • Chapter 2 Project: Wind, Light, Earth is a special project connected to Chapter 2 Made by Earth, created through a collaboration between architect Youngchul Jang, who built the hanok pavilion Piljeong, and Buncheong ceramic artist Sungjae Choi. The borrowed-scenery frame of the three-bay hanok draws the nature outside into its interior, yet never confines it. Across this open boundary, wind, earth, and sunlight linger and disperse. Buncheong ware, formed from fired clay, also passes through human hands, yet its final surface is entrusted to fire and time. In this way, both architecture and ceramics quietly testify that the act of making is also an act of letting go. Together, architecture and ceramics—both born from the earth—form a shared landscape. Their surfaces change with the passing seasons and shifting light, allowing the space to feel alive, renewed each time it is seen. The audience comes to realize that landscape is not merely an object we look at, but a time completed together while we dwell within it.

Chapter 3 Made in Earth
Chapter 3 Made in Earth views ceramics not as an ancient craft form, but as a contemporary medium through which the materials of the Earth record time and imagine the future. Clay, minerals, water, and fire become vessels and sculptural forms through human hands, yet within this process are also inscribed histories of climate, geology, labor, technology, and migration. Today’s ceramics encounter artificial intelligence, digital images, and virtual environments, and no longer remain within the realm of past heritage. Rather, through one of the oldest materials, they become a language that asks deep/pertinent questions about the future. This chapter shows how ceramics can become a sensory device connecting humans and nature, the local and the global, the material and the immaterial. From the perspective of planetary solidarity, it proposes how we might make together, endure together, and live together in the era after the climate crisis.

  • Chapter 3 Project: Dear Future

    • Chapter 3 Project: Dear Future is a project connected to Chapter 3 Made in Earth, in which emerging artists from 28 universities with ceramics departments across Korea propose ceramic works to be sent 100 years into the future. Beginning with imagining placing objects representing the Earth aboard a spacecraft bound for another planet, the participating artists reconsider ceramics—containing the time of clay and minerals, fire and the hand—as future records and objects of survival. Works in various forms, including functional ceramics, lighting, and objects, are preserved as Earth’s assets that we hope to leave behind into ceramic form as a gesture of hope. This project reveals how the next generation envisions the Earth’s present and future life, and proposes ceramics as a medium that connects human memory, natural materials, and imagination after technology.
