The Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum, affiliated with the Korea Ceramic Foundation, announced on May 21 that it will hold a collaborative collection exhibition titled "Art Dwells Where You Stay (Stay with Art)" at the Art Lounge and first-floor lounge of the Eden Paradise Hotel from May 23 to November 15.

This exhibition was planned to broaden opportunities for cultural enjoyment in daily life by displaying the museum’s collection in a hotel space visited by guests from across the country, and to establish a cultural hub that connects to visits for the Gyeonggi Ceramic Biennale, scheduled to open in September.

The exhibition will feature 10 pieces from six artists representing four countries: Korea, the United States, Spain, and Taiwan. Through a variety of genres, including sculpture, painting, and video, the exhibition highlights the expanded possibilities and contemporary sensibilities of ceramic art, aiming to refresh perceptions of traditional ceramics.

Notable works include "Beauty Salon" and "Annoyance," human-figure sculptures by Tip Toland (USA), recipient of the Grand Prize at the 2019 Gyeonggi Ceramic Biennale International Competition, "Untitled" by Spanish artist Enrique Mestre, "Transformation_In Progress" by Icheon-based artist Kim Moonkyoung, and "Color of Wind" by Lee Eunhye. In addition, a large video panel in the Art Lounge will feature the video work "Dream 2" by Taiwanese artist Tsung-ju Li.

The Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum and Eden Paradise Hotel have maintained a continuous partnership since the hotel was designated as the official hotel for the Gyeonggi Ceramic Biennale in 2021. This exhibition is especially meaningful as an example of cultural cooperation between a public institution and a private company, linking the cultural resources of both organizations.

Ryu Inkwon, CEO of the Korea Ceramic Foundation, stated, "This collaborative collection exhibition marks the first case of expanding the museum’s collection into everyday spaces. Going forward, we will continue to broaden traveling exhibitions, bringing our collection closer to residents’ daily lives through collaboration with various organizations, and further expand opportunities for cultural enjoyment."
