"The Craft of Identity" is an exhibition that aspires to a society that respects both cultural diversity and individual uniqueness. The exhibition highlights the works of artists who have discovered individualistic and unique craft techniques based on traditional craft methods. Curator Elaine Kim aims to convey the artisanship and inner values that each artist demonstrates in their own unique ways. The selected artists reinterpret cultural significance and contemporary applicability of craft in their own definitions, utilizing a variety of materials and techniques that encompass both tradition and modernity.
In this exhibition, you can explore how artists shape their personal identities by their distinctive choice in craft techniques. The works reflect each artist's distinctive experiences and backgrounds, embedding the profound meaning of self-expression beyond mere handicrafts production. This opens a new perspective on craft and provides an opportunity for viewers to reconsider its value and importance once again.
