Fahrenheit 2024 Artist Panel with Chidi Ukwuoma & Wansoo Kim
Tune into the July 25, 2024 Virtual Panel with Chidi Ukwuoma and Wansoo Kim, two artists whose work is included in our current exhibition "Fahrenheit 2024." Gain firsthand insights about how the inspiration, concept, and process works for these creative individuals. This panel of Fahrenheit artists dive into the inspirations and processes that have shaped their artistic development and current projects. Exhibition co-curator Pam Aliaga guides the conversation.
About the Artists:
Chidi Ukwuoma (b. 1980 in Los Angeles, California) creates polymorphic ceramic sculptures and collage pieces. His diverse artistic journey began during the late-90s in Los Angeles when he was a student at Art Center College of Design, focusing on Photography. Later, he shifted his focus to ceramics, learning under the guidance of Melvino Garretti at St. Elmo’s Village, a community center established following the 1965 Watts Rebellion to support the local community. Ukwuoma’s art spans various disciplines and explores themes of tradition and identity, with a particular emphasis on culturally significant forms, symbolism, and mythology. His creative process involves a fusion of representation and abstraction, offering fresh perspectives on familiar concepts. While recognized for his innovative work in ceramics, he has a wide-ranging artistic vocabulary that extends beyond a single medium.
Wansoo Kim is an artist and educator who currently resides in Tennessee. He earned his MFA in Studio Art from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and his BFA in Ceramic Art and Design from Seoul National University of Science and Technology in South Korea. Since coming to the United States in 2013, Kim has actively pursued his career as an artist, showing his works regularly in solo and group exhibitions. Recent solo exhibitions include Jane Hartsook Gallery at Greenwich House (New York, NY; 2022), Watkins College of Art at Belmont University (Nashville, TN; 2022), and Appalachian Center for Crafts (Smithville, TN; 2022). He recently participated in group exhibitions at Red Arrow Gallery (Nashville, TN; 2023) and Whitespace (Atlanta, GA; 2023). He currently teaches at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN.
About the Exhibition:
Fahrenheit 2024 presents 100 pieces selected by juror Kathy King from hundreds submitted in response to AMOCA’s open call. The selected pieces created by contemporary artists range from more traditional vase and vessel forms to large-scale wall installations. While all pieces are mainly ceramic, visitors to Fahrenheit 2024 will encounter additional materials including hair, insulated wire, audio components, wax candles, a zip tie, and found objects. In Fahrenheit 2024, viewers are invited to consider traditional and innovative practices in ceramics, witnessing the range of creativity, technique, and inspiration these contemporary ceramic artists draw upon.

Can someone tell me the title (and artist) of this beautiful background music?
elegant
Beautiful sharing my friend
Спасибо за прекрасный видеоролик! Релакс! С замиранием сердца наблюдаю за работой талантливых мастеров! Творческие способности у человека от Бога! Красивое, древнее искусство, которое сохранило свою актуальность и востребованность до сих пор. В каждом доме всегда найдется хоть одно керамическое изделие. Ещё в глубокой древности гончары вылепливали из глины сосуды и обжигали их, чтобы они стали твердыми и водостойкими. Гончары, как правило, работали в одиночку, хотя у некоторых были помощники - подмастерье. На местах археологических раскопок часто находят фрагменты керамики, иногда в больших количествах. Археологи изучают эти фрагменты, чтобы определить, к какой культуре они относятся. Порой находят целые изделия с содержимым , которое прекрасно сохранилось, не потеряв полезных свойств. Например семена злаковых культур, которые, спустя века, смогли прорасти. Удивительно! Археологи раскапывают слой за слоем, чтобы понять, когда именно в тех местах были поселения. Судя по количеству обнаруженных фрагментов, ученые также пытаются определить, какая там была плотность населения и раскрыть интересные исторические факты. Власть гончара над глиной помогает представить, какую власть имеет Творец над отдельными людьми и народами. " Но ныне, Господи, Ты - Отец наш; мы - глина, а Ты - образователь наш, и все мы - дело руки твоей" (Библия). Изделие прославляет мастера своей неповторимостью, а человек - венец творений Бога, своими способностями! ............................................................. Great video! Relax! With bated breath I watch the work of talented craftsmen. Human creativity comes from God! Beautiful, ancient art that has retained its relevance and relevance to this day. There is always at least one ceramic product in every home. Even in ancient times, potters fashioned vessels from clay and fired them to make them hard and waterproof. Potters typically worked alone, although some had apprentice assistants. Fragments of ceramics are often found at archaeological sites, sometimes in large quantities. Archaeologists study these fragments to determine which culture they belong to. Sometimes entire products are found with contents that are perfectly preserved without losing their useful properties. For example, the seeds of cereal crops, which after centuries were able to germinate. Marvelous! Archaeologists are excavating layer by layer to understand exactly when there were settlements in those places. Judging by the number of fragments discovered, scientists are also trying to determine what the population density was there and uncover interesting historical facts. The Potter's power over the clay helps to illustrate the power Jehovah has over individuals and nations. «But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.»( Bible). The product glorifies the master with its uniqueness, and man, the crown of God’s creations, glorifies him with his abilities!
This video was what iniatially inspired me to sculpt
Masters.
extraordinaire !! fabuleux savoir faire !! bravo !
Thank you Jolie and AMOCA. One of the most honest, informative and inspiring artist talks! You have brought me into a greater generational synergy!
I hope one day to get as good as he is !!
I love to watch these people do what they do its simple amazing !!!
Does anyone know the artist of the song playing, please? I need to know!! 😭
👍👏

Qué Bueno .. Buenísimo...Un beso hija... TE QUIERO MUCHO..
Lovely!
Really enjoyed this. My greatest reflection is on the American citizens' perception of China. Having traveled there in 2019, I went with a decent amount of fear of China. That fear was immediately non-existent upon my arrival. I met people; wonderful, kind, welcoming and fun people. I can't wait to go back.
The music does not improve this footage
This is so cool to see young folks interested in this art form.
amazing art from this young generation throughout this nation. Many other youngsters can take lessons from these talented artists.
I remember going to AMOCA. I seen these men at work! they are awesome. I asked where they purchased their tools. they dont, they make them themselves. Their work is so sophisticated and elegant. I hope I get to see them again.
“I seen” is incorrect grammar and makes you sound uneducated. Do better.
I have tears in my eyes, never seen such beautiful ceramics! Great arts- i love it! Thanks for sharing with us!

자기를 만들기 위해선 고온이 필요하고 고온을 얻을수있는건 온돌과 구들 밖에 없다 그렇게 흙을 처음 구워낸 사람들은 동이족이고 그렇게 구워낸 질그릇이 고급화되어 자기를 만들었다.. 자기의 원조는 구들을 사용한 동이족 아니 대한민국일 수 밖에없다..
beautiful! and nice camera work too. its great to see the ways he is using his hands, especially for me as a baby potter. Wished i could have seen that inside pull a little bit better though xD
