Blooming' New Work by Valéria Nascimento

Blooming' New Work by Valéria Nascimento

May 1st - May 31st 2014

‘Born in Brazil, 1962. I initially graduated with a degree in Architecture in 1985 helping me cement my interest in the fusion between urban landscapes and natural forms. I was introduced to clay a year later and became fascinated by its multiple possibilities for expression and the development of ideas.

My inspiration is drawn mostly from the natural world and porcelain has the smoothness and the malleability that I need to create new shapes, manipulating it to appear in some cases defiantly weightless. My work is about repetitive sequencing with separate elements to form a cohesive sculptural group. I am principally interested in large-scale wall installation projects.’

New Departures

13 September - 6 October 2012

"Gabriele Koch has established an international reputation for making, by hand, instantly recognisable forms: spheres, amphoras and bowls, burnished like old leather and given a special character by the decorative effects brought about by smoke in a sawdust kiln. But she has recently come to a turning point in her career. After a quarter of a century of perfecting and controlling the ethereal patterns which come from the smoke, a new development is on its way."

We have plans to develop training and career development, opportunities for makers at all stages of their careers and to encourage a wider appreciation of handmade ceramics. We believe that this will help to secure the future of British studio ceramics”.

London June 2011, 1 part

Londra era bella come sempre e ancora una volta mi sorprende quanta energia e pace ci sia in una città così affolata. Questa visita mi ha riportato a visitare vecchie conoscenze e mi dato la possibilità di creare nuovi interessantissimi contatti. Avrei seguito tutti i corsi, tutti i seminari, visto tutte le mostre, gli show di fine anno addirittura e i mercatini, ma anche lì il tempo non basta mai e i miei impazienti accompagnatori (ancora minorenni) cominciavano ad avere l'allergia alla ceramica. Prima visita indispensabile è stata alla galleria Contemporary Ceramics nella sua nuova sede davanti al British Museum. Una meravigliosa collezione di artisti tra cui le sculture di Susan O'Byrne, volpi, tassi e uccellini che sembrano usciti da un libro di fiabe e che dal vivo sono veramente bellissime !
La Galleria ospita in questi giorni una mostra della ceramista e maestra in calligrafia Mary White, opere innovative e misteriose. La White è autrice di un libro che approfondisce l'uso dell'alfabeto su superfici in ceramica.

My visit to London was pleasurable and rewarding as usual, so much energy and peace in such a populated place ! I made some interesting discoveries, made new connections, and went back to admire the beauty of some great collections. The first trip was to Contemporary Ceramics, the gallery specialized in ceramics now in their new location in front at the British Museum. The gallery has an incredible showcase of artists producing a great variety of work, all of it of the best quality. An amazing surprise was the experience of Susan O'Byrne's sculptures. Foxes, badgers, little birds seemed just jump out from a children fairytale into the gallery space. Great !!
The exhibition space of the gallery was dedicated to the work of ceramist and calligrapher Mary White, also know author of "Lettering on Ceramics". Innovative and mysterious pieces.

Contemporary Ceramics

Finalmente riapre uno dei miei posti preferiti, nuova location, la terza da quando li seguo, forse meno bella della precedente ma di grande effetto. Sto parlando di Contemporary Ceramics negozio/esposizione/libreria londinese dell'associazione dei ceramisti inglesi, la Craft Pottery Association meglio nota con l'acronimo CPA. Per intenderci lo stesso gruppo di persone che ha creato Ceramic Review, bimestrale sulla ceramica che è il n.1 nel mio cuore. A riguardo , volevo dirvi che ho trovato il nuovo numero di New Ceramics abbastanza deludente , sopratutto come impaginazione e foto (il mio punto debole).
Anche se hanno riaperto le porte anche poco si sa dei loro programmi, qualche foto su fb ma tutto il resto dorme ancora. CC ha un sito ed un blog ma al momento non danno notizie su mostre e ecc... rimango in ascolto ...
per vedervi qualche foto in più di questo bellissimo spazio ecco il link http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=291093&id=73441013295

No news good news

Contemporary Ceramics is back in business in its brand new location in front of the British Museum. I am a bit sad about leaving the super beautiful Somerset House, but have to admit that the new gallery looks dashing. Unfortunately very few informations are being disclosed, only some photos on the fb page, but neither the site nor the blog have being updated. Pity ...have to wait a little longer... If only my Ceramic Review would regularly get to my door, I would be able to tell you more, but Poste Italiane seems very interested in reading it through before, if ever, deliver it to me. By the way yesterday I received a copy of New Ceramics, mmmhhhh feeling disappointed by graphic and photos.
