Published programme

"The Seoul City Yu Rijee Craft Award was established in 2023 to commemorate the late Yu Rijee (Liu Rizhi, 1945-2013), a representative figure of the first generation of Korean modern craft, and to promote the development of Korean crafts and the creative activities of craft artists. This year's second edition of the Seoul City Yu Rijee Craft Award received 128 works from March to December 2025, and after the first round of review in February, 20 works were selected for the final round, which demonstrated artistic merit, contemporaneity, creativity, and practicality across various fields. The Seoul Craft Museum is holding an exhibition introducing the 20 shortlisted works, including the award-winning pieces, to commemorate the second edition of the Seoul City Yu Rijee Craft Award and to spread its significance. Through this exhibition, we hope visitors will explore the diverse possibilities and new approaches in contemporary crafts and encounter works by artists who will lead the future of Korean crafts."
