A site 2 see friday – puls contemporary ceramics

by | Nov 26, 2010 | Uncategorized

From their website:
“puls contemporary ceramics
is the only gallery in brussels exclusively dedicated to ceramics. the gallery stages around eight exhibitions annually, showing the best of international contemporary ceramics, with a special focus on denmark. the gallery is divided into two spaces, whereby the main space will typically show works of established artists. The second space is where young, promising talents are given a platform, people who will put their stamp on the next generation of ceramics. in both spaces, puls contemporary ceramics is committed to pressing its finger firmly against the thumping pulse of the 21st century”

Here are just a few of the many amazing artists that show at puls. Grab a cup of tea, well maybe an entire pot this morning, there’s lots of amazing images to look through on puls’s website, enjoy!

Call for participation – FOREVER A Collaborative Exibition

by | Nov 25, 2010 | Uncategorized

You are invited to join FOREVER, a Tampa NECEA exhibition that
connects the archival nature of clay to the poetic and preposterous
nature of a FOREVER* postage stamp. Ceramic material provides us with
some of our oldest records of history. The FOREVER stamp offers the
possibility of imagining an equally distant future.

Please send us just a bit of wet clay. The journey through the postal
system will leave its impression on the material. These marks become
a tale. We will fire your impressions of the journey, archiving the
process. Your bit of clay will join others and the collection will
form the FOREVER exhibition at The Train Station and the Morean Arts
Center for Clay during the National Council on Education for Ceramic
Arts conference in March.

Post by December 15, 2010.
* The US Post Office offers FOREVER stamps, good as First Class
postage FOREVER regardless of price hikes or other unforeseeable
futures.

Entry Fee: One Postage stamp
Jury acceptance rate: 100%

To participate:
1. Measure ONE ounce of wet clay, slightly smaller than a walnut.
2. Prepare it in any way you wish and wrap in plastic.
3. Place in an envelope with one FOREVER stamp (or other appropriate
amount if you are from outside the US).
4. Mail to: FOREVER
c/o The Train Station and The Morean Arts Center for Clay
420 22nd Street South, St Petersburg FL, 33712
