99 Bowls – One Cosmos
In the foyer of the Museum of East Asian Art, you encounter a quiet dialogue between architecture, nature, and contemporary ceramics. Ninety-nine handcrafted bowls by Young‑Jae Lee enter into a relationship with space, light, and landscape.
The installation invites you to step out of everyday life and immerse yourself in a slowed-down space for reflection. At first glance, the vessels appear pared down and almost uniform. When you look more closely, each bowl reveals its own structure, its own flow of glaze—subtle variations that disclose its individuality.
The title of the foyer exhibition understands the 99 bowls as a collective cosmos. At the same time, each piece remains autonomous. Repetition and variation, series and transformation stand side by side. In interplay with the museum’s architecture, the Japanese indoor garden, and the surrounding lake and park landscape, a space emerges that continually shifts through light, shadow, and the changing seasons. In this way, you experience a total work of art that continually reshapes itself in the present moment.
