    Hyeyoung Cho
    Born in Seoul, Korea I left my country at the age of 4 because of my father’s job - I lived in many different countries. Educated under the British educational system, I majored in ceramics and then I returned to Korea to continue my studies in 1993. During the period that I was studying for my MFA Degree, I was given the opportunity to work as assistant curator for a large and long exhibition promoting Korean ceramics in the USA and Europe. Since then I have been given many opportunities to develop my skills in curating. Starting off as a studio ceramicist, I have been fortunate to broaden my experience from ceramic making to curating exhibitions and to working as an administrator.

    Peter Bauhuis
    Peter Bauhuis‘ work consists of jewelry and objects. But a lot of his oeuvre is not limited to these genres. He conceives exhibitions challenging the beholder as both exhibit and exhibition concept are autonomous art work. Also his numerous books must be seen as independent art productions and are part of a network of making and its perception.

    Peter was born in Germany and lives and works in Munich. Being trained as a jeweler, Peter studied at the Munich Academy for Fine Arts. Since 1999 Bauhuis showed his work in exhibitions worldwide and won numerous awards and prizes, in 2020 his work was chosen for the short list of Loewe Craft Prize. His work can be seen in public collections in Europe, the USA and Australia.
