Simon Levin: Finding the new possibilities of local clay
Fulbright Taiwan
July 3, 2014
As an artist, one of Simon Levin‘s passions is a search for cultural identity. He believes indigenous clay is a metaphor for the malleable foundation upon which we respond to the world. Simon’s Fulbright journey has lead him to dig, process, test and explore the properties of domestic clay in the U.S. and Taiwan, re-introducing materials and local potential to the Taiwanese academic studio environment. 賽烈文(Simon Levin)陶藝個展：異相凝合 陶藝家賽烈文擅長運用傳統柴燒工藝與陶土釉藥實驗創作色彩斑斕的陶藝品。賽老師希望透過創作打破外來與本地陶土的貴賤高低之別，重新發現台灣陶土的可能性。他將分享他對本地陶土、文化以及台灣創作環境的觀察。 賽烈文先生是2012-2013傅爾布萊特資深學者，目前為台南藝術大學訪問學者。
