NCECA 2010, 44th ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Tema: INDEPENDENCE
Filadelfia ha ospitato nei giorni scorsi la quarantaquattresima edizione della conferenza annuale sulla ceramica. Il National Council on Education for Ceramic Art, organizzatore dell'evento, aveva scelto in questa edizione di celebrare lo spirito di indipendenza nelle scelte creative. Protagonisti sono stati gli innovatori ma anche i tradizionalisti, capaci di rivedere il passato con in maniera diversa. Molto sono stati i luoghi, ufficiali e non, che hanno ospitato ceramiche di ogni tipo, dalle installazioni ai servizi da tavola, dai lavori degli studenti ai ceramisti più conosciuti.

NCECA 2010, 44th ANNUAL CONFERENCE Theme: INDEPENDENCE
The city of Philadelphia hosted, for the third time, the NCECA annual conference. The 44th conference took place from March 31 - April 3, 2010. NCECA 2010: INDEPENDENCE, celebrated the individual and the choices they make. An independent spirit is necessary to tear down existing walls, to explore new ideas and to create work that pushes conventional understanding of one medium. An independent spirit is also necessary to maintain tradition, to be bound loosely by historical precedent and function. NCECA 2010 celebrated the independent spirits of traditionalists and groundbreakers. Area Schools, Universities, Museums, Galleries, and Non-Profit and Alternative spaces played host to exhibitions. Exhibitions celebrated the incredible diversity of the material, clay, focusing on functional objects and tableware, sculpture, installation and performance.
