White and All, now on view at the Tsinghua University Art Museum, is more than an exhibition on Dehua's celebrated white porcelain — revered in Europe as "blanc de chine" for its creamy finish and subtle sheen. It also explores the interplay between tradition and modernity, craftsmanship and culture, material and spirit.
The exhibition, running until Aug 17, highlights the long-standing collaboration between Tsinghua University and potters in Dehua county, Quanzhou, Fujian province, for years, aimed at reviving and reimagining this centuries-old porcelain tradition.
Members of the Academy of Arts and Design of Tsinghua University have worked shoulder to shoulder with artists in Dehua to develop fresh approaches to the pristine porcelain surface. By introducing new styles and expanding its functional possibilities, they aim to better integrate this timeless art form into contemporary life.
