Australian Subversive Triennale 2012

I heART Japan

L'australia è vicina al giappone a causa degli eventi dell'ultimo mese hanno colpito profondamente questo paese. Ecco una bellissima iniziativa partita dal ceramista giapponese Kenji Uranishi che vive con la moglie a Brisbane.

Nei giorni seguenti i terribili eventi dell'11 marzo in Giappone, Kenji Uranishi e la moglie Sonia sono stati soprafatti dalla tristezza e da un senso di impotenza essendo lontani e non potendo aiutare. Canalizzando i loro sentimenti in maniera positiva, si sono rivolti al loro network di amici artisti in Australia.















Kenji Uranishi
Il risultato è i heART japan, una bellissima collezione di opere in ceramica, dipinti, fotografie e oggetti di design. L'asta è attiva su e-bay e terminerà il 10 aprile. Le opere possono essere visionate su facebook QUI
I proventi saranno devoluti alla Croce Rossa Giapponese e a Pacific Appeal

In the days following the devastating 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Brisbane-based ceramic artist Kenji Uranishi and his wife Sonia felt overwhelmed with sadness and a sense of helplessness being so far away and inable to help. Turning their grief into positive action, a call went out to their network of artist friends and colleagues for help and was answered by more than 20 talented artists from around the country. What resulted was i heART japan, a beautiful collection of work including ceramicists, painters, photographers and designers to be auctioned on eBay over a 3 day period starting Thursday 7 April (8pm EST) and ending Sunday April (8pm EST) The work can be previewed on Facebook in advance HERE
Net proceeds of the auction will be donated to the Red Cross Japan and Pacific Appeal

Time and Place in Australia

Karen Millar

Perdetevi in un altro tempo e in un altro spazio.
La galleria Cudagong in NSW Australia dedica una mostra al concetto di tempo e spazio e la sua rappresentazione nelle opere ceramica. Curata da Viki Grima bravissima ceramista ed editor del prestigioso The Journal of Australian Ceramics, è la curatrice di questa mostra dedicata alla studio pottery australiana. L'idea nasce dall'interesse della curatrice nel mostrare come ogni opere esprima questi importanti concetti.

Time + Place: Australian Studio Ceramics 2010

CUDGEGONG GALLERY a commercial ceramics gallery Exhibition: Time + Place - Guest curator Vicki Grima
The fundamental elements of time and place will be explored in a new exhibition at Cudgegong Gallery called Time + Place: Australian Studio Ceramics 2010. The exhibition is curated by Viki Grima , an artist, editor of The Journal of Australian Ceramics and an Executive Officer of the Australian Ceramics Association. Vicki said she is interested in the way in which artists reflect time and place in their work, and so this exhibition was born. “The physical and the intangible spaces, the minutes, hours and the years in which we live and work are reflected in our work,” she said. “The landscape around us, the architectural spaces in which we live and the small intimate objects in these environments are present in our work, whether intentionally or accidentally. “As well as being influenced by the time in which we live, it has taken time to build skills, time to make and time to consider the physical objects.” Artists taking part are: Ros Auld, Mollie Bosworth, Stephanie James-Mantann, John Mawhinney, Karen Millar, Sophie Milne, Aleida Pullar, Tania Rollond, Brenton Saxby, Avital Sheffer, Pam Sinnott, Andrew Widdis and Yuri Wiedenhoferare. Pam Sinnott is captivated by old and used kitchen utensils in her contributed works. 102 Herbert Street Gulgong NSW 2852 AUSTRALIA
