Lately I have been trying to update this blog once a day with something new and recently its been other artists and exhibitions I have seen or visited in the past. I am starting to realise I am begging to enjoy this as I am able to document those events but also I understand that blogging is great way to share information with other people. I hope people could understand that information like this it is just put forward from my own perspective.
Today I dug through some pictures and I found these images taken from the British Ceramics Biennial 2011 from Stoke-on-Trent, seems like such a long time ago. The event lasted for some time I think perhaps a month or so. The event consisted of many exhibitions that were scattered acrros town but I was only there for a short amount of time therefore only saw this exhibition located in a disused warehouse.
This exhibition was broken up into different sections for example there was an area dedicated for new emerging artists, new domestic ceramics and established artists. Most of the work shown at this location were still objects but there was a few performance pieces on display as well such as for example plates that were still in its raw clay state and had been frozen and left to melt for the duration of the show. Works that caught my eye for example were from people like Tony Cragg as his work listed here made me want to move around the work and explore inside as well as outide, Thomas Weber as the pieces seemed to be quite playful and almost plastic looking and David Rickard as his work suggested a moment frozen in time.
Looking at these pictures again has reminded me of the potentials that clay as a medium has to offer as it can record an event, make perceivable time and its effects, can symbolise ceremony, can be shaped into any from and even has the ability to become a three dimensional painting.
