From October 19, 2024, to February 23, 2025, UCCA Clay, the latest addition to the UCCA constellation of museums, presents its inaugural exhibition, The Ways of Clay: Select Award-Winning Works from the International Ceramics Festival Mino of the Museum of Modern Ceramic Art, Gifu, Japan. As the museum’s opening exhibition, it fuses the rich millennia-long ceramic history of Yixing, the “City of Ceramics” where UCCA Clay is situated, and UCCA’s global artistic vision for contemporary art to spark and celebrate cross-cultural dialogue. Featuring 69 award-winning ceramic works by 65 artists from 17 countries, selected by the prestigious Museum of Modern Ceramic Art, Gifu, Japan for the International Ceramics Festival Mino, this exhibition puts innovative practices and creative methodologies in ceramic art production into a global context.
Canadian artist Grace Nickel’s Untitled, featuring a moth motif, highlights the artist’s appreciation for microscopic life.
