The 2022 Korean Craft Exhibition of Milan Design Week 2022 will kick off on June 7 at the Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli in Milan, Italy.
The Korean Craft Exhibition, which aims to promote Korean crafts overseas, is hosted and organized every year by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Craft & Design Foundation.
During a press conference on Monday, Kang Shin-jae, the artistic director for this year’s edition, said that the exhibition will be held under the theme “Again, From The Earth’s Foundation.”
Kang is co-founder and co-head of local design studio Void Planning and has previously managed the designing of the Korean pavilions of France’s Révélations International Biennial of Crafts and Creation in 2015 and Italy’s Milan Triennial in 2017.
“The title literally encourages going back to the foundation of the earth,” Kang said. “The crafts that we know all derive from natural materials. I chose crafts that reflected that naturalness and contemplated how they would truly appear in its most natural beauty.”
To celebrate the exhibition’s 10th anniversary this year, it will present three sets of special crafts that were made through a collaboration of Italian designers and Korean craftspeople: Michele De Lucchi, Park Gang-yong and Lyu Nam-gwon for lacquerware crafts; Mario Trimarchi, Lee Hyung-kun and Lee Ji-ho for brassware crafts; and Francesco Faccin and Hur Sung-ja for sedge weaving crafts.
The 2022 Korean Craft Exhibition, which will showcase some 100 crafts from 22 craftspeople, runs until June 12. For more information, visit www.fuorisalone.it
