Stilled Melody brings together Chinese and international artists in a show that runs until Oct 15. It looks back at the long history of ceramics as a product that allowed people to test their understanding of the rules of nature, and also as a favored international commodity connecting different cultures. The show navigates the scope and depth of the creative minds behind the exhibition, who have used ceramics as a vehicle to redefine the relations between people and the world in the changing social context.
Some pieces on display have been made by artists participating in a residency program at an international contemporary ceramic art center in Shangyu district, Shaoxing, Zhejiang province, as part of a collaboration that began in 2015 between Shangyu authorities and Tsinghua University's Academy of Arts and Design. Shangyu is regarded as one of the birthplaces of celadon ceramics.
