Studio Newsletter

After nearly a month of firing, Jun Kaneko’s assistants Trevor, Takemi, Jack, and Garet slowly cranked open the door to the kiln and carefully wheeled out the newest load of glaze fired ceramics. The work fresh out of the kiln included large Dangos, small Dangos & test tiles! Each piece consisting of Jun’s signature patterns and colors.

We are very pleased to announce that the completely revamped Jun Kaneko Studio website is up and running! The new site has been completely reformatted with a sleek, user-friendly design and expanded content. In addition to previously unpublished photos and essays, it features a behind-the-scenes look at Jun’s creative process, revealing how his sketched designs are transformed into towering works of art. His most important projects and collaborations are highlighted with images from our archive, and an interactive map details Jun’s numerous installations around the globe.

At Jun Kaneko Studio, continuous activity is always underway. Sometimes, it feels like it’s in slow motion, as in the extremely long process of clay drying. You can learn more about the time scale of monumental sculpture in the details below.

In other news, Jun and Ree visited Limoges, France earlier this summer to attend the opening of the Absolu exhibition at the Fondation Bernardaud. Three of Jun’s artworks are featured in the exhibition at the distinguished porcelain factory, along with work by 12 other artists.
