After travelling to Northern Ireland,
Denmark and England, ‘Fragile! In Transit’ – which was featured on this bloglast September – is currently showing in Cardiff, Wales.
                 
‘Fragile! In Transit’ was created as a
travelling exhibition by a collective of ceramic artists who met on a Project
Network residency at the International Ceramic Research Center in Denmark a
year ago. A few months after returning from their residency, the nine artists
each made a new piece of work, forming a collection which has been touring
around Europe since summer 2012.
Each artist is responsible for organising and
curating an exhibition in their city of residence. The current display in
Cardiff focuses on the travelling side of the project, making use of the boxes
and packaging materials as part of the display.
To follow the progress of the exhibition,
please visit http://projectnetwork3.tumblr.com/ or the ‘Fragile! InTransit’ page on Facebook. Both pages are updated with information,
correspondences between the artists and photographs from the exhibitions and
the life of the project between destinations.
Venue: Milkwood Gallery, Roath, Cardiff –

Dates: 14 – 25 March 2013
Preview: Friday 22 March 2013 from 6 to 9
pm
Next destination: Helsinki, Finland

NCECA days…..and something for the rest of us.

by | Mar 20, 2013 | Uncategorized

Well NCECA in Houston is off to a great start, or at least it seems to be from what i can sense from way up here in minus 27C cold Canada. Enjoy your clay conference and sandal wearing adventures folks (no bitterness here….no sir….)

And Hide-n-seekah began this morning with some lovely pots being found. Congrats to those that won and best of luck to the rest of you in your hunting over the next few days. If you’re in the dark about Hide-n-seekah check out the details here and make sure to play along.

As for the rest of us living vicariously through facebook, instagram, twitter…I’ve decided we might need a support group to get us through the next few days and to address any FOMO issues (Fear Of Missing Out).

So if you’re like me and heading to the studio to work this morning maybe a podcast will help the time fly. Recently (back in January) I was interviewed by the amazing Ben Carter for his Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast. It was quite the honor, Ben is not only a great interviewer but an artist extraordinaire. I’ve been a huge fan of his work and his blogging for ages.  So if you have a minute head on over for a listen to my late night ramblings with Ben, or check out the many other artists he’s interviewed in the course of his journeys.
