The theme of the Gyeonggi Ceramics Biennale 2024 is ‘TOGETHER_ Montaigne’s Cat’, inspired by American sociologist Richard Sennett’s book Together: The Ritual, Pleasure, And Politics of Cooperation, which explores the meaning of cooperation and alienation in contemporary society. It’s a deeper look at cooperation through the lens of Montaigne’s cat: ‘How do I know I’m playing with the cat and that it’s not really playing with me?

Everyday Practice has attempted to visualise the Biennale’s theme, which explores how ‘lost cooperation’ can be restored amidst the social conflicts and anxieties of contemporary society, through the coexistence of various graphics. The logotype, which is a collection of various particles, and the floating graphics, which form the shape of a cat, are connected and harmonised to visualise the meaning of ‘cooperation’ today.
