Namhi Kim Wagner - Memorial Retrospective Ceramics Exhibition Jun 17 - Jul 1, 2023 | Reception Sat Jun 17 3-5pm Korean Cultural Society of Boston is pleased to present Namhi Kim Wagner’s Retrospective Exhibition in memory of her passing at the age of 99 in March 2023. The exhibition will feature delicate plates with vibrant stamped patterns, swelling jars encircled with floral carving, and large bowls overflowing with big happy fish and lotuses. Born in Korea, raised in Japan, and returning to Korea after her first marriage, Namhi lived through both World War II and the Korean War. Widowed at age 35 with three young children, she emigrated to the United States to work at the Harvard Yenching Library, later becoming the first Director of the Korean Language Program at Harvard. At age 48, she found her deep passion for ceramics. First studying briefly at the MIT Pottery Studio and then joining the Harvard Ceramics Program Studio (formerly Radcliffe), she was an artist-in-residence there from 1997-2004. Often teaching all day and staying up all night to master ceramic techniques, it was in rediscovering her own roots that led her to truly find her own voice. Here, her resilient spirit found expression in her modern interpretation of the dynamic yet playful style of 15-16th century Korean Buncheong ware. I discovered my own voice as well as my roots by exploring the expressive possibilities of the Korean Buncheong tradition in my pots. Buncheong could not be more Korean, down-to-earth, unpretentious, and exuberant. It is the unfettered spontaneity and rhythmic grace of Bungheong ware that I love most. Stamps are impressed randomly all over the surface and lines are incised freely. The patterns appear to be disorganized and yet they coalesce into a vibrant harmony. It warms my heart and makes me smile to look at some pieces that appear to be have been made by a child, so innocent charming and natural - Namhi Kim Wagner Always an educator, Namhi was also instrumental in sharing the rich history of Korean ceramics with the greater Boston community through her own entertaining presentations at major museums and studios and by acting as a translator for visiting artists. Her work has been exhibited in the United States, Europe, and Korea and is in the collections of the Harvard Museums and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Good morning to all beautiful artists, Shared joy is double joy; Shared sorrow is half a sorrow. The premise is simple, as human beings we are hardwired to be deeply empathetic. We may not be able to share the physical pain of the brave heart who is fighting the toughest fight against her/his body's cancer cells but with the help of angles like Ellen Eisner, we can show them a ray of hope that we are all thinking of them, keeping them in our prayers and doing our small part so that better treatments can be assured. Kind and super enthusiastic Ellen with her charming husband is organizing a fundraiser art event at their house for helping the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber cancer institute. Event details: Event name: HeartFelt Date/Time: Saturday, July 8, 1-5pm Place: 170 Washington St., Arlington, MA (Please find the attached flyer) Let's mark our calendar and stop by to convey our support for such a great cause. I (SuWani) will be there with my artworks so that I can also do my part of contribution. Visit us with your family and friends and bring the special one who can get an extra boost for the tough fight.
