Published programme

The National Folk Museum of Korea, Paju, presents its 8th storage exhibition, Cups, Calmly: Stories of the Vessels That Held You, exploring open storage's possibilities for access, sharing and use. Two hands cupped together to hold something flowing have, at some point, made room for cups. People have repeatedly shaped cups for their purposes and creatively filled them with life's stories. Like the textures of our lives, individually shaped cups do not remain in the past but reach us today as new inspiration. Beginning with primal clay and moving through metal, glass and new materials and techniques, the exhibition traces changing everyday cups and revisits memories held inside. From ancient pottery buried underground and traditional vessels to contemporary cups expanding material boundaries, diverse faces of cups transcend time and space to ask after each other, showing us in moments of connection. Reflecting your memories and my values, they reveal the intimate relationships we have formed with cups across eras. Among these many vessels, which will hold your attention? Come face the stories of us that cups have carried.
