Creative evolution is, above all, a new interpretation
of evolution. In fact, tracing the history of life s evolution,
Bergson reveals the organic order inherent in life, namely the principle
of life s incessant change, growth, and expansion in its stream
and its continuous recreation. It was a denial of the determinism
in the progression of human life and the world and instead a proposition
of the principle of life, which is flexible, organic, and circular.
It communicates an idea of ecology based on the concept of a new
creation.
In this sense, craft is inherent to humans in that it best represents
the ecological principle of self-generation. The idea of Homo faber
as an explanation of basic human behavior has gained renewed attention
in the 21st century because the very behavior of making tools has
been expanded into the concept of the order of life with emphasis
on its value. The creative evolution of human beings through craft,
or the creative evolution of craft itself, starts with the making
of tools with materials that are the smallest and slowest and thus
the most natural. In the process of tool making, the evolution progresses,
constantly transforming itself and gradually accumulating and expanding
its energy with the force of the circulation of life.
The ecological value of craft is proposed as an
alternative to the rationalism that dominated the world order of
the 20th century, and economic values that emphasize development.
Maximizing the force of the natural and making the principle of
life a channel of new energy, craft is making its true meanings
come alive even more strongly in the 21st century.
The Cheongju International Craft Biennale will focus on the inherent
meaning of craft and the order of life as well as its ecological
values, in pursuit of change and growth of its genuine meanings.
It will not seek some quick and visible results; rather, it will
lead to the deep, slow, and invisible energy in nature and the universe
in its uninterrupted flow.
