What exhibits have I omitted?

Which artists have I neglected to include?

This lecture and project is a work in progress.

I have a dream:

1,000 ceramicists meet at the Museum of Modern Art

in New York City (53rd Street between 5th and 6th

Avenues on the north side of the street) on Friday,

August 21, 2015 at 4pm. Each ceramist brings one

small ceramic object and meets in the main second

floor gallery at exactly 5:01pm. At 5:07pm, all 1,000

ceramists place their ceramic object on the floor of

the museum with the manifesto “the medium doesn’t

matter; all media are equally viable for artistic

expression.”


PS Entry to MoMA is free on Fridays, 4-8pm

“The largest and most lustrous lacquered egg in our show, L. Red, 1963, is

somewhat more vertical, and the opening is above the meridian of the orb. On

this work, Price did not use lines, but described shapes in an intense, deep

magenta. These are excellent examples of the work from this time

period” (Frank Lloyd, “Vanguard Ceramics: John Mason, Ken Price, and Peter

Voulkos,” in Clay’s Tectonic Shift)

Shinichi Sawada’s work on display Venice Bienale, 2013

ShinichiSawada

Shinichi Sawada

Shinichi Sawada’s is

autistic and barely

speaks a word, but his

spiked ceramic works

depict a world

populated by

fantastical sea-

monsters and mythical

demons. Using his

long, slender fingers

with intricate

precision, he works in

silence and completes

even his largest

ceramic sculptures in

4-5 days.

“Sakti is the curatorial theme of the

Indonesia Pavilion. This Sanskrit term is

associated with the primordial cosmic

energy and with the personification of

divine, feminine creative power, as well as

change and liberation”

“Of Hindu origin, the concept of Sakti was

quickly integrated into local cosmology. Given

Indonesia’s 700 living languages, Sakti can

denote the foundational creative principle and

represents the unifying spirit of the Indonesian

Nation”

Pavilion“Sakti”

“The 16 foot long squid (weighing 660 pounds)

is crafted from ceramic coated with a lead and

copper glaze. For this exhibit, the artist has it

laying in a pool of what appears to be the

squid’s own ink, but which is actually dyed

corn syrup. The squid is part of Zink Yi’s first

New York City solo exhibition Pneuma, a

“Trophy” was a temporary installation created in the Cast Courts of the V&A Museum; the museum wished to engage with ceramics in a unique way and to encourage interest in non-traditional approaches to material specialist interests. Clare Twomey’s installation comprised 4000 birds made from Wedgwood Jasper blue clay displayed throughout the Cast Courts; the work considered the nature of the building and its historic role, to permanently hold a valuable collection for public view.

The birds could be taken away, creating a unique activity in the context of the museum: visitors were able to effectively steal an object from the V&A’s collections. By collaborating with Wedgwood in their production, Twomeyattributed a sense of history and worth to each individual bird; the audience perceived them as precious and desirable.

Clare Twomey Forever 2010 Nelson Atkins Museum, Kansas City, MO

Working with Hartley Greens & Co. Leeds Pottery, a ceramics factory in northern England that has produced functional earthenwares since the 18th century, Twomey authored a model of the Sandbach Cup for the site-specific installation Forever. This cup was reproduced 1,345 times, honoring the number of works in the Burnap donation.

In addition to viewing the installation, visitors had an opportunity to own a Cup. Visitors viewed the vast collection of the cups, and they had the opportunity to become owners. Visitors completed and signed a Deed that asked prospective owners to consider why they want the work of art, and consider why and how they value the Cup. They signed a Deed committing them to care for a Cup forever – just as the Burnaps required the Nelson-Atkins to sign their Deed of Gift nearly 70 years ago.

Clare Twomey

1000 cups and saucers are displayed in artist Clare Twomey's installation 'Exchange' at the Foundling Museum on

June 14, 2013 in London, England. Ceramic artist Clare Twomey has inscribed individual good deeds onto the cups

and saucers, encouraging visitors to undertake a deed in exchange for a piece of the installation.

I have a dream:

1,000 ceramicists meet at the Museum of Modern Art

in New York City (53rd Street between 5th and 6th

Avenues on the north side of the street) on Friday,

August 21, 2015 at 4pm. Each ceramist brings one

small ceramic object and meets in the main second

floor gallery at exactly 5:01pm. At 5:07pm, all 1,000

ceramists quietly place their ceramic object on the

floor of the museum with the manifesto “the medium

doesn’t matter; all media are equally viable for

artistic expression.”
