Ling Chun (born April 20, 1990) is a Hong Kong native and a ceramic artist whose work is primarily reminiscent of the Abstract expressionism art movement.[1] As a long-term resident (2016 to 2018) at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts, Chun has given various lectures and demonstrations, including at the National Council of Education for the Ceramic Arts[2] convention, and at Montana State University in Bozeman, Montana. Chun is also the creator of a public art project called Hidden Food Project.[3]
Chun's hope for her ceramic artwork, "...[is] that the viewer can be just sinking into the lustrous quality of the work and the greedy use of materials, the mesmerised layer colors and refreshing feeling from my work; also, the ability to revisit my work in search of the unknown, craving for more."[4][5]
Education
In 2012, Chun earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and Ceramics from The Art Institute of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, and in 2016 she earned a Master of Fine Arts in Ceramics from The Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island.[6]
In Exhibition
Chun has been in many exhibitions since 2012.[7]
Notable exhibitions in 2018
Upcoming: Holter Museum of Art,[8] Second-Year Fellowship Artist Exhibition, Helena, Montana. Second year residents at the Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts show their work in progression.
February 26- March 9, 2018: Montana State University, Bray Days,[9] Bozeman, Montana. Along with fellow Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts resident En Iwamura, Chun gave demonstrations, a lecture, and had an exhibition in the Exit Gallery[10] on the Montana State University campus.
January 28- May 6, 2018: Craft and Folk Art Museum's exhibition entitled Melting Point: Movements in Contemporary Clay, in Los Angeles, California. The Craft and Folk Art Museum‘s first clay biennial focuses on artistic practices that are currently expanding the conceptual, aesthetic, and sociopolitical potential of the ceramic object.[11]
As an interest in creating public art, in 2016 Chun started the Hidden Food Project.[12] For the project, Chun travels to different cities in the USA and hides clay objects that look like food and that represents the city where they are hidden. She is using Instagram as a promotion tool for the project and as an access tool for the public to participate. This project’s estimated run time is three years. [13][14]
Artist Residencies
Chun has participated in numerous artist residencies. Currently, she is a long-term resident artist at The Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts[15] (2016-2018). At this residency, Chun teaches ceramics classes, participates in yearly events such as The Brickyard Bash and benefit auction where, among her fellow resident artists, auctions off her work in order to support the resident-artist program[16], and experiments with materials and form in order to further her artistic practice. Other residencies she has attended were at C.r.e.t.a. ROME (July 2016), Arquetopia (June 2015), and Seward Park Clay Studio (2012-2013)[17].
Artistic Process
Chun describes how her work changes as her landscape changes. She had always lived in a big city but moving to Helena, Montana for her long term residency at The Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts, is her first time living away from the city scene and it was quite a culture shock. Something that affected her work is the change in the color palette. Helena has a dramatic skyline in the summer, but during her residency she missed that season. Her only color experience of Helena has mostly been the white of the snow. Chun's longing for color, pattern, and the vivid life and action of the city has been driven by this experience. The whiteness of the winter in this city provided an empty canvas for her mind. Therefore, her work is overloaded and drowned with color, pattern, texture, and different ceramic materials.[18]
Chun begins her process by a word she has in mind, similar to Richard Serra's list of verbs.[19][20] From here she imagines herself as the director for a play. The words she picks are the plot for the play and all of the differently colored glazes are her actors. The form made from clay is the stage which is explicitly related to the word. She fires her pieces many times and she stops firing when the glaze has completed the action of the play. She adds hair onto her work because she sees it as an extension of the glaze because the hair goes into spaces where the glaze cannot.[21][22]
