Peter Lange (New Zealand)
Peter Lange, creator of the world first brick
boat and a leading figure in the craft/object art sector, has been awarded by
Creative New Zealand Craft/Object Art Fellowship this year.
Peter Lange has worked in ceramics for more
than 30 years and has been director of Auckland Studio Potters Center since
1997. He changes his approach to
clay all the time. Thirty years
ago he started working in the “Leach” tradition throwing high-fired
domestic-ware, but has at times embraced earthenware, slip-casting,
salt-glazing, brick sculpture, and experimental kiln-firings. He enjoys illusion, irony and the
unexpected?
Peter Lange has worked, taught and exhibited
in New Zealand and throughout the world.
Highlights in recent years include being an official demonstrator at the
2002 Aomori Wood-fire Festival in Japan, and being selected to take part in a
terracotta and brick symposium in Eskisehir, Turkey in 2003. In 1997, he taught at the Dubai Art Center
in the United Arab Emirates.
Peter Lange has twice received the Merit Award
at the Fletcher Challenge Art Award in 1985 and 1986. His work features in a number of collections, including in
the Auckland Museum, Christchurch Art Gallery, the Beehive, Suzhou School of
Art and Zhengzhou Art School in China, and the Aberystwyth Arts Center in
Wales.
＊ If
you have given me the above materials before, and there have been no recent
changes, you can just inform me and I will use your former materials.

Please email me 1 or 2 digital images (more are

quality for publication as well).

Call for submissions now open! Entry fee for NCECA members only $20 (Non members $35 or
BECOME A MEMBER)
Flow: The 2014 NCECA Invitational will be on exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Museum from February 22 to March 23, 2014 in conjunction with
Material World, the 48th Annual NCECA Conference, taking place at the Delta Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin March 19 – March 22, 2014.
The NCECA Invitational is a themed, curated exhibition that features
leading edge, large-scale and often challenging ceramic art. Held in
even-numbered years, NCECA’s Exhibitions Director collaborates with the
host venue curator to develop an exhibition concept and select a
foundational group of artists’ works by invitation. Augmenting this core
selection, additional artists may respond to an open call for images of
ceramic works that support the theme. This format brings established
reputations and emerging talent to bear on the selected theme and adds
vitality and fresh perspectives to ongoing discourse in contemporary
art. The exhibition is organized and co-curated by NCECA Exhibitions
Director, Linda Ganstrom and Mel Buchanan, Assistant Curator,
20th-century Design at Milwaukee Art Museum.
Concept
The 2014 NCECA Invitational explores the significance of flow in
a physical, historical and symbolic sense. Water flows. Glaze flows.
Clay flows. To flow is to move in a current, like a liquid. Yet you
don’t need water to flow. A line can flow. Air flows. Music flows.
Electricity flows. Ideas flow. Artists can flow in a state of focused
motivation that brings a deep enjoyment to the process of their
activity. Energy flows. Time flows. Life flows. Our present fluidly
becomes our past. The museum promotes the flow of culture through the
presentation of artworks and ideas of material culture.
With their spectacular view of Lake Michigan, the dramatic windows of
the Baumgartner Galleria in the Milwaukee Art Museum allow the flow of
water and light to be a constant presence in the art gallery. Whether
in the atmospheric form of mist, rain, ice or snow, water in its various
physical states transforms the elegant space, marking the flow of time
and seasons. Set in this dramatic chamber of changing light and color, Flow: The 2014 NCECA Invitational seeks
an elite group of memorable ceramic works that embody the spirit and
physical properties of flow, as well as connect the contemporary space
of the Calatrava architecture with the historic collections of the
Milwaukee Art Museum.
Linda Ganstrom and Mel Buchanan, Co-Curators
