Dual show

UCCA Clay Museum's newly opened exhibition, Underwater, on Fire, juxtaposes a series of the latest works of Cao Shuyi, born in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, and Candice Lin, born in Massachusetts. With diverse cultural experiences and cross-disciplinary education background, both artists explored clay as the material to evoke thought on the complicated relations between human activity and technology, and environment.

The museum is located in Yixing, Jiangsu province, famed for its fine purple clay, or zisha, and well-crafted clay teapots. Inspired by this tradition and the role of clay in craftsmanship, the two artists each embarked on an artistic journey to delve into mythologies, humanity, the course of civilization and world trade. Their sculptures, installations and mixed-media works are on show until Oct 12.

9 am-6 pm, daily. West Entrance, Creative & Cultural Ceramic Avenue, Dingshu Town, Yixing, Jiangsu province. 0510-8767-9989.
