Event Identity (EI)

변형과 우연의 미학

The Event Identity (EI) of the Gyeonggi Ceramics Biennale 2026 is a visual design system developed to embody the Biennale’s theme, Earth Makes.

This newly created identity presents ceramics not simply as a craft object, but as a material that originates from the earth and connects culture, technology, and the future. It reflects the Biennale’s perspective that clay is a living medium through which humanity and the planet continuously shape one another.

Ceramics are formed through the interaction of earth, water, fire, and time. The EI seeks to translate this process of transformation and the energy of creation into a visual language.

  • 변형과 우연의 미학

    The fluid and ever-changing typography expresses the nature of ceramics as they shrink, warp, and evolve inside the kiln. Like clay itself before and after firing, the thickness and form of the letters are never entirely fixed, revealing the dynamic movement of a living material.

  • 지구적 순환의 기호

    The repeated linear elements evoke the stratification of the earth, the accumulation of time, and the circulation of heat within the kiln. Their stepped arrangement recalls geological layers and the structure of traditional climbing kilns, while directional lines and arrows visualize the flow of energy, connection, and transformation.

  • 지구적 순환의 기호

    The three directional gestures of the hand featured in the poster are inspired by Fleming’s Right-Hand Rule, symbolizing the generation of new energy through the interaction of different forces. This motif reflects the process by which earth, fire, human senses, and technology come together to create ceramics. At the same time, it alludes to the Biennale’s three host cities—Icheon, Gwangju, and Yeoju—which together form the geographical foundation of the event.


    The globe held in the hand does not suggest humanity’s dominion over the planet; rather, it represents a relationship of interconnectedness, coexistence, and collective creation between humans and the Earth. The image of the globe within the eye suggests a way of seeing ceramics not merely as crafted objects, but as a medium through which we reflect upon the planet’s deep time, the environment, human life, and the future. Finally, the rocket motif points toward the future potential of ceramics—demonstrating that this ancient material is not confined to tradition, but can expand into new realms of art, technology, and imagination.
