Presented in partnership with Gallery LNL in Sydney, MOON JAR; AN AXIS brings together the work of thirty artists from Korea and Australia, spanning ceramics, painting, and photography.

Moon Jar; An Axis explores Korean and Australian artists’ engagement with the Moon Jar together with those forms it brings forth, like the moon.

The Moon Jar is widely regarded as an emblem of Korean aesthetic sensibilities, yet it is also the site of a continual reimagining across media by Korea’s contemporary artists.

Axis establishes a cross-cultural discourse between Korean and Australian artists, examining at once the continuity of traditional practice, as well as the transformation which results from resituating the Moon Jar within a cultural context far removed from its historical beginnings.
