Featured work

A collection of recollection and recreation

Progin and Mc Lin have spent 9 years working in the porcelain capital of China, Jingdezhen and this experience has become the foundation of their ceramic work through which they attempt to capture and archive the changes the city is undergoing. The duo experimented with the material and method of production with a series of five porcelain projects. Coming to the last stop, they are showcasing the entire series of their ceramic works, including Fragment(s), Irony, Erosion, Clay Bodies, and Déshabillé. They are the result of their research and exploration on history of porcelain production in Jingdezhen.
