Julie Progin & Jesse Mc Lin, Co-founders of Julie & Jesse and Latitude 22NĮstablished in Hong Kong and Jingdezhen, Julie & Jesse is the creative partnership of Hong Kong-born Swiss designer Julie Progin and American artist Jesse Mc Lin. In this Zoom K11 Konversation, we speak with Julie Progin and Jesse Mc Lin, founders of Julie & Jesse, on their approach to art, the act of preserving history and culture through continued creation, and the importance of play in inspiring the next generation of artists.Įnrol in this K11 Konversation now to discover a whole world of beauty from the broken and lost! Drawing on the rich yet fragmented history of Chinese porcelain, Julie & Jesse’s experimental ceramics explore the relationships between human and object, and nature and industry, against the changing landscape of art. Yet in the eyes of artist duo Julie & Jesse, the thousands of years of failures and mistakes in porcelain craft serve as an artistic point of departure - a treasure trove of inspiration that drives their creation. Shards of broken metal, crumbling moulds, and deformed pottery are easily seen as failed works or forgotten vestiges of the past.
