Exhibition "泪花（Namidabana）" Kimie Ino July 14 - August 2026 (closing day TBD) Window gallery at the SCCP Namidabana (泪花) was created during my residency at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park in Japan. The work reflects on encounters and farewells, and on how the people we meet continue to shape us long after they are gone. Its form resembles a single tear—not only as a symbol of sorrow, but also of gratitude, memory, and the invisible connections that remain. Carved patterns, intentional blank spaces, and platinum dots like distant stars express both absence and the quiet presence of those who stay with us in memory. Every farewell is proof that, once, there was a beautiful encounter. ------ 伊野キミエ 「泪花」 会期：2026年7月14日～8月（終了日未定） 会場：陶芸の森 ウィンドウ・ギャラリー 『泪花（Namidabana）』 は、信楽陶芸の森での滞在制作中に生まれた作品です。 この作品は、「出会い」と「別れ」、そして人とのつながりが私たちをどのように形づくるのかを見つめています。一滴の涙を思わせる形は、悲しみだけでなく、感謝や記憶、生きた証を表しています。焼き物の予測できない変化は、人生の不確かさと重なります。 すべての別れは、かつて美しい出会いがあった証なのだと思います。 by @air_sccp

\\Our Artist in the SCCP 📍Tsai Jia-Hong// Tsai Jia-Hong currently lives in Taiwan. She received her M.F.A. from the Graduate Institute of Applied Arts at Tainan National University of the Arts. Tsai works primarily with clay, while also incorporating video and other mixed media, to explore traumatic experiences and the perceptions and memories of the feminine body. Tsai experiments with the reciprocal relationship between “clay” and “body” in her practice, creating new connections between consciousness, flesh, and materiality through her works. Tsai currently works as a full-time artist. Her recent solo exhibitions include “Personal Tortuous History of Flesh” and “The Cripped and Queered Vessel.” In 2023, Tsai participated in an artist residency and exhibition in Gmunden, Austria. She was selected for the Asian Cultural Council 2026 New York Fellowship and will travel to New York for the program in 2027. 蔡佳宏は、現在台湾を拠点に活動する。国立台南芸術大学 応用芸術研究所で美術学修士号を取得。粘土を主要な素材としつつ、映像をはじめとする複合的なメディアも取り入れ、トラウマ的経験や、女性の身体にまつわる知覚や記憶を探求している。蔡は制作を通して粘土と身体との相互関係性を実験的に探りながら、意識、肉体、物質性との間に新しい繋がりを生み出している。 蔡は、現在フルタイムのアーティストとして活動する。近年の主な個展に「Personal Tortuous History of Flesh」、「The Cripped and Queered Vessel.」がある。2023年にはオーストリア・グムンデンでのアーティスト・イン・レジデンスと展覧会に参加。2026年アジアン・カルチュラル・カウンシルのニューヨーク・フェローシップに選出され、2027年にはニューヨークへ渡航予定。 @jia_hong_tsai Residency at the SCCP from July to September, 2026 All photos: Courtesy of Tsai Jia-Hong taken in 滋賀県立陶芸の森 by @air_sccp

ALTERED STATES 変容 | Yakira Ament ALTERED STATES 変容, Yakira Ament’s first solo exhibition in Japan will be held at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park. Created during her residency at SCCP, this new body of ceramic sculptures reflects a shift in perception shaped by the landscape of Shigaraki– an ongoing exchange between clay, fire, intuitive movement and place. Expanding her studio beyond its walls, Ament shaped works along the shores of Lake Biwa and beside the streams of Shigaraki, where weather, water, sound, and place became part of the making process. Using Raku and Anagama firing alongside natural materials gathered throughout the region, the sculptures embrace transformation and uncertainty as integral to their making. From intimate forms to monumental hybrid presences, the sculptures carry traces of encounter between body and landscape, intention and chance, gesture and the imagined. We warmly invite you to join us for the opening reception on Friday, 17 July at 15:00. @yakira_ament @air_sccp _____________________________________ ALTERED STATES 変容 Yakira Ament Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park Studio Gallery Exhibition 16–20 July 2026 9:30–17:00 Opening Reception 17 July 2026 | 15:00 ____________________________________ For further inquiries: air.shigaraki@sccp.jp yakira.ament@gmail.com by @air_sccp

\\ Our Artists in the SCCP📍Yakira Ament // Yakira Ament is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, drawing, installation, and movement. Guided by somatic listening and intuitive processes, she creates hybrid forms and liquid dream drawings that move between figuration and abstraction. Rooted in natural materials, her work explores cycles of becoming, elemental forces, and the subtle dialogue between dream states and internal landscapes. During her residency at the Shigaraki Ceramic Cultural Park, she has been developing a new body of sculptural work exploring the relationship between material and emotional transformation. Shaped by the spirit of Shigaraki’s landscape, the work reflects on vulnerability, resilience, and the interconnectedness of the living world. Her upcoming solo exhibition “Altered States” opens on July 16 at the SCCP gallery. ヤキラ・アメントは彫刻、ドローイング、インスタレーション、身体表現など領域横断的な活動をするアーティストです。身体感覚に耳を澄ませる「ソマティック・リスニング」や直感的なプロセスにより、具象と抽象を行き来するハイブリッドなかたち、流動的な夢のドローイングを制作しています。 自然の素材を用いながら、彼女の作品は生成と変容の循環、自然の根源的な力、そして夢と内なる風景との繊細な対話を探求しています。 陶芸の森での滞在中、素材と感覚の変化の関係性をテーマとして新しい彫刻作品を制作しています。信楽の風土から生み出された作品は、脆さとしなやかさ、わたしたちが生きる世界の相関性を映し出しています。 ヤキラ・アメントは7月16日から創作研修館ギャラリーでの展覧会「変容－Alter States」を予定しています。 @yakira_ament Residency at SCCP from April to July, 2026 All photos: Courtesy of Yakira Ament and Ari Orzach taken in 滋賀県立陶芸の森 by @air_sccp

Solo exhibition “The Flower of Inner Alchemy” by zong jia yang This exhibition takes inspiration from the myth of Penglai and the legendary search for the elixir of immortality. In these stories, the elixir is a symbol of healing, transformation, and refinement. I see “inner alchemy” as the unique essence and spiritual vitality that exist within each person. Although unseen, it is nurtured through lived experiences and self-exploration, gradually shaping who we are. Rather than pursuing immortality, The Flower of Inner Alchemy reflects on the journey of becoming oneself—of learning to recognize and embrace one’s true nature, and allowing it to bloom in its own form. For more information please to @prinprin1 And thank you for @air_sccp - 「内丹の花」 本展は、「内丹の花」をテーマに、蓬莱仙島と不老不死の仙丹を求める神話から着想を得ています。 神話の中で仙丹は、丹念な錬成によって生み出される霊薬であり、癒しや変容、そして自己を超えていく力の象徴として語られてきました。私にとって「内丹」とは、一人ひとりの内側に秘められた精神的なエネルギーや、その人ならではの本質を意味しています。 それは目に見えるものではありません。 しかし人生の経験や自己探求を重ねるなかで少しずつ育まれ、変化しながら、現在の私たちの姿を形づくっていきます。 「内丹の花」が見つめるのは、神話に語られる不老不死ではありません。むしろ、人が成長の過程で自分自身を知り、受け入れながら、それぞれの花を咲かせていく姿です。 taken in 滋賀県立陶芸の森 by @air_sccp
