Access Ceramics



Ho da poco scoperto il progetto di access Ceramics e l'ho trovato interessante. access Ceramics è una collezione di immagini di opere in ceramica realizzate da artisti contemporanei. Le opere vengono scelte da una commissione di cui fanno parte diversi docenti di college americani, curatori di musei, membri della Archie Bray Foudation e la ceramista Arumy Horie. Le immagini vengono catalogate e sono disponibili sul sito e attraverso Flickr. Questo progetto cerca di colmare un vuoto evidente, quello delle collezioni di immagini di ceramica contemporanea disponibili in rete. Gli artisti per il momento sono poco più di 200 ma si accettano candidature !

access Ceramics is a growing collection of images of contemporary ceramics by recognized artists. It is designed for use by artists, arts educators, scholars and the general public, and is intended to fill a void in contemporary ceramics digital image collections on the web. The images are stored within the Flickr photo sharings system, and are accessible through this website as well as the Flickr interface. Submissions are juried by a curatorial boardwhich consists of Ted Vogel, Associate Professor of Art, Studio Head in Ceramics, Department of Art, at Lewis & Clark College, Namita Wiggers, Curator of the Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland, Oregon, Thomas Orr, Professor of Art and head of Ceramics at the Oregon College of Art and Craft, Richard Burkett, Professor of Ceramics at San Diego State University, and Ayumi Horie, a studio potter and member of the board of directors of the Archie Bray Foundation.
The project is very interesting and the image collection is growing daily. They are open for submission !
