Bertozzi e Casoni. Timeless

Bertozzi & Casoni. Timeless
25 gennaio - 19 maggio 2013
Al Museum Beelden aan Zee dell’Aia, una selezione di 21 opere tra le più significative dal 1997 ad oggi.Con tecnica perfetta e seducente e con una immaginazione fantastica a volte glaciale e a volte intrisa di caustico humor, Bertozzi & Casoni indagano, da anni, il disastro contemporaneo sapendolo, però, ricollegare alla grande tradizione dell’arte e a temi iconografici quali la vanitas e il memento mori.
Con una ceramica portata a dimensioni anche colossali e della quale vengono mirabilmente sfruttate le capacità mimetiche, gli artisti sono diventati i più autorevoli cantori di una inedita “epopea del trash” in cui da quanto è più negletto, dimenticato o rifiutato germogliano algide bellezze.
Maestri del dubbio e del “forse”, Bertozzi & Casoni evitano accuratamente ogni ipotesi di chiave sociologica, religiosa o filosofica, in quanto ritenute banalmente risolutive e lenitive, e invitano, piuttosto, a meditare e a credere nelle “bugie dell’arte”.
Sfida della loro arte: trasformare la più piccola scintilla di vita in epifania eterna.
 Bertozzi & Casoni
The Italian artist duo Bertozzi & Casoni (Giampaolo Bertozzi, Bologna 1957 and Stefano Dal Monte Casoni, Ravenna 1961) combine socially critical and philosophical themes with highly attractive figurative sculptures. Through their colour and material choices, their sculptures verge on kitsch. They developed a technique in the late nineties which enables them to create extremely large ceramic works. The colossal but fragile sculptures are overpowering and prompt observers to contemplate life and death, nature and culture, art and kitsch.

So this is Christmas

Dear readers it's that time again, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
May your time be filled with love and passion and creativity.
Among the cards I received I found a vey inspiring from Art Aura magazine:
  • Preserve your optimism, every cloud has a silver lining,
  • Pursue your goals resolutely because perseverance is the secret of success,
  • Never abandon your ideals even if you can never fully attain them,
  • Remain healthy – your good health largely depends on you and your lifestyle,
  • Never allow yourself to become annoyed by things that you cannot change,
  • Also follow suggestions that aren’t to your taste – they’re often the best ones,
  • Stay open for newness, even though you’re already a year older.
couldn't agree more !

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Jerome Galvin at Accro Terre

vernissage en présence de l'artiste le 27 nov. 15h-22h.

Etre filmé en permanence est certainement une expérience inquiétante. Le moindre mot est enregistré et peut être décontextualisé au détriment de son auteur. Est-ce la raison pour laquelle Jérôme Galvin a exploré, pour son exposition préparée à la suite de sa participation à l’émission « Tous pour l’Art » diffusée actuellement sur Arte, des éléments composant la maison avec d’un côté la cheminée, de l’autre le toit, sa gargouille, plus loin des briques dans un souci compréhensible de protection ?

Pizzi Cannella, Mic Faenza

Le Atmosfere di Piero Pizzi Cannella
Oltre 70 pezzi tra ceramiche e grandi disegni in mostra al Mic di Faenza
dal 18 gennaio al 17 marzo 2013

Oltre 70 pezzi, tra ceramica e grandi disegni di Piero Pizzi Cannella, occuperanno gli spazi del MIC dal prossimo 18 gennaio fino al 17 marzo 2013 in una mostra dal titolo “Atmosfere”.
Il nome di Piero Pizzi Cannella (Roma 1955) è legato ad un ambito strettamente pittorico dagli anni Ottanta, con il gruppo di giovani del Pastificio Cerere (con Nunzio, Ceccobelli, Dessì, Gallo, Tirelli). La ripresa della pittura, teorizzata da Bonito Oliva con la Transavanguardia, accentua il loro interesse per una progettualità legata alla materia, inizialmente con connotati astratti- informale. Pizzi Cannella, tra studi accademici e filosofici, si colloca in una poetica che pone grande attenzione ai temi dell’umano, del viaggio antropologico, del sogno, supportati da una ideale vibrante cromia di toni caldi accostati a profondi neri.
Questi elementi si ritrovano nella produzione ceramica, ideata nel 2008, a seguito della mostra “Chinatown” e realizzata dal 2009 grazie al supporto tecnico della Bottega Gatti di Faenza, ed esposta per la prima volta al Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche in Faenza. “Grandi vasi dalle ampie forme diventano supporto per il gesto pittorico che si misura con le difficoltà della forma tridimensionale e diventano stimolo per varcare preconcetti e sperimentare nuove modalità di approccio alla materia”, afferma la curatrice Claudia Casali, direttrice del MIC.

La mostra è realizzata in collaborazione con la Galleria Otto di Bologna, grazie al supporto della Banca di Romagna di Faenza. Catalogo Gli Ori, Prato.

Point of Departure, RCA, London



Point of Departure
Great Western Studios 
Exhibition runs: 27th Nov - 4th Dec 2012

I have a weak spor for the RCA students, their work is never disappointing ...
Here is a great chance to see 2nd yr students from the ceramic and glass department, these are some images of Cristina Vezzini's works.
Point of Departure presents an opportunity to view work by second year master’s students from the Royal College of Art’s celebrated Ceramics and Glass programme at a pivotal point in development.
The programme itself has been described as a site for discursive practice, where cultural, social, personal, historical and aesthetic concerns intersect. An overarching belief that the skills of making and thinking can develop in tandem, and that the made object is a vehicle for expression that can engage with the individual and society, lies behind much of its students’ output. 
The artists do not see ceramics and glass merely as a fixed set of media, instead prizing and celebrating diversity and breadth whilst embracing connections.
As work in progress, Point of Departure includes eighteen individual artists’ investigations taking form. It gives a rare insight into the thinking behind the works at this ‘point of departure’. The exhibition reflects recent discoveries within the students’ artistic journeys as they establish individual identities.

The work itself covers a wide spectrum – from design for manufacture, the unique art object to installation. Themes being dealt with range from the body, the domestic and the architectural, at the core of which is material understanding.

Svend Bayer at Goldmark


Svend Bayer - Artist Profile
 "Born in Uganda in 1946 to Danish parents, Svend Bayer spent his childhood in Tanganyika. It was during his time at university that Bayer discovered pottery, and a gift from his girlfriend of Bernard Leach’s A Potters Book introduced him to the pots of Michael Cardew. On leaving university Bayer wrote to Cardew, and after being invited for an interview, was taken on. Bayer took inspiration from the village potteries in Southeast Asia, streamlining their practices and using his focus and determination to produce pots at high speed to fill his huge kiln. His work is held in major collections worldwide. He has received the John Ruskin award, held workshops all over the world and had residencies in America & Australia."

Sara Flynn, Erskine Hall & Coe, London

14 November to 06 December

Erskine, Hall & Coe Ltd

SARA FLYNN BY SEBASTIAN BLACKIE

How artists locate themselves within a wider community of practice may bring insight to their inspiration as well as some of the imperatives that sustain them.  Sara Flynn belongs to a generation of Irish ceramic artists who are confidently engaging with an international audience and whose work stylistically is far removed from the rustic traditional crafts, which are often closely associated with tourism and in Ireland are charged with a particularly powerful cultural/national identity.  It is then surprising to learn that Flynn is not from the city but works in picturesque rural isolation on the very western edge of Europe.   As many Irish have done she looks westward to the future, her work and life style being a measure of how heterogeneous craft practice has become.  Her pots are not emblematic of a rural idyll nor in any conscious way are they influenced by the visual landscape in which she works.  There is however a relationship between Flynn’s vessels and the place she chooses to make them.  It is not a topographical relationship but the quality of solitude that supports focused reflection so necessary for some kinds of art practice.

Flynn’s work reveals some of the characteristics of Hans Coper’s work; a potter she has greatly admired throughout her ceramic career.  There is an obsessive passion for clay’s unique qualities, a sustaining fascination with the “thingness” of vessels as abstract forms largely unrelated to utilitarian pots which serve our bodily needs.  Coper’s famous thought that he was: ”like a demented piano tuner seeking the perfect pitch” is an appropriate way to understand Flynn’s practice relaying as it does on just a few key element.

All Flynn’s work is thrown porcelain.  With modernist concerns such as truth to material and process we are used to ‘read’ how things are made.  We are familiar with the ‘vocabulary’ of construction with resistant materials and reductive processes such as carving or the results of casting with liquids.  But the use of plastic or viscous material with its shifting identity is encountered less often in our daily lives and the aesthetics of displacement seem more mysterious, Flynn’s exploration of form is not confined by the wheel but develops often asymmetrically from the rhythms of throwing, the line of the rim often being particularly important.   The soft clay forms are squeezed, indented or pinched to enhance fluidity and establish an individual identity.  Flynn’s creativity is focused in the act of working with plastic clay; any subsequent work is at its service.

Contemporary Tableware , by Linda Bloomfield

Contemporary Tableware , by Linda Bloomfield


Available from January 2013

Tableware has occupied a special place in our kitchens and dining rooms for thousands of years, and continues to enchant us today. Ranging from the purely functional to the fine and delicate, the evolution of domestic pots tells us much about our changing tastes and habits, and the wider art and cultural movements that have influenced their decoration and forms. In Contemporary Tableware, maker Linda Bloomfield looks at the history of the pots on our tables, from Sung Chinese and Medieval English ware to the revival of studio pottery and the influence of Scandinavian, American and Japanese design. She goes on to examine common forms in contemporary tableware, including teapots, bowls, cups, jugs and plates, and to explain the elements of form, function and beauty in each. Lavishly illustrated with examples from contemporary studio pottery and industry, as well as making images from working potters, this book is the essential guide to modern tableware for potters, designers and buyers

When I Woke, ceramics in Wales

Sophie Woodrow
Taking its title from the evocative poem by Dylan Thomas, ‘When I Woke’ explores the human condition. Curated by Claire Curneen and Lowri Davies ‘When I woke’ will feature work by Sam Bakewell, Audrius Janušonis, James Page, Lina Peterson, Tamsin Van Essen and Sophie Woodrow and examine the themes of life, death, sorrow and myth as seen through the eyes of these international makers.

until the 17th of November
Dylan Thomas once claimed "I hold a beast, an angel, and a madman in me, and my enquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, downthrow and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression"


We are delighted to present these artists of national and international standing at Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre and hope that When I Woke will challenge the viewer to engage with an idea that can stimulate passionate conversation and debate.
