2011 Saidye Bronfman Award Nomination

by | Apr 11, 2010 | , , , , , , , | 0 Comments

Deadline: June 1

The Saidye Bronfman Award is Canada’s foremost distinction for excellence in the fine crafts. “Fine Craft” is the term used to define an area of activity in the crafts that is frequently directed towards exhibition and/or sale in a gallery-like setting. This activity involves high levels of technical expertise as well as knowledge of the historical tradition and development of the craft. Through their work, fine crafts practitioners demonstrate new concepts and innovations that expand the boundaries of the medium and its techniques.

In addition, works by the recipient are acquired by the Canadian Museum of Civilization for its permanent collection. Nominees must be professional artists who have created an outstanding body of work, made a substantial contribution to the development of fine crafts in Canada and have been exhibited nationally and internationally. The Canada Council defines a professional artist as someone who has specialized training in the field (not necessarily in academic institutions), who is recognized as such by her or his peers (artists working in the same artistic tradition) and who has been a history of public presentation.

“l’artisan electronique is a virtual potting wheel and ceramic printer created by the belgian design studio unfold with tim knapen. the installation was commissioned by Z33 art centre in hasselt, belgium for their current exhibition, design by performance which is on show until may 30, 2010. the installation enables exhibit visitors to make their own forms using the device. some of the forms are printed out at regular intervals and showcased as a part of the exhibit. the virtual pottery wheel utilizes a 3d scanner and digital software to generate a form. the intent is to refer to the tradition of traditional ceramic making, while using the latest digital technology. the ceramic printer also makes this point by printing the clay forms using the traditional coil technique.”
