movie day: Alexandra Engelfriet
“The camera observes closely how Alexandra Engelfriet molds pieces of
clay into an object of art. The video is shot in her studio in France.”
technical tuesday: Build a Raku Kiln
Australian National University Art Forum: Penny Byrne
Public Lecture
Penny Byrne meticulously constructs manipulated figurines from
damaged and antiquidated ceramic objects into artworks that fiercely
wield a political message. The use of fragile ceramics contradicts the
political issues evident in her work. Byrne’s satirical viewpoint
confronts a number of contemporary political issues that presents an
ongoing inquiry into popular culture and international politics.
