So one of the new changes around musing that I wanted to implement this year (yeah a realize it’s already March, give me a break) is a new feature focusing on student and emerging artist work. Most of the eye candy monday features showcase artists who have gained a level of recognition already within our field and community. I would like to start to support the more emerging artists out there in gaining exposure, and hopefully feedback on their work.
Starting today I’ll be presenting two emerging artists each weekend. Now this is going to be a regular feature so long as you all help me spread the word and help search out these fresh new artists. I can’t do it without you as most of this work is going to be off the radar and not the kind of thing you can just run across in an afternoon on Pinterest. So teachers, guild members, fellow students, each of you – nominate a friend or spread the word that I’m on the lookout for some new talent.
What qualifies? Well I think the term student is obvious enough, but emerging, well it can be a grey area. I really just want to be inclusive of emerging artists young and old. So doesn’t matter if you are 20 and have no formal training or 65 and have just fallen in love with clay.
What am I looking for?
- A few images, they don’t have to be professional or on a grey background. So long as we can clearly see the work that’s fine.
- If you’ve got a website, facebook page, etc, please send me the link to share. If you don’t have a website don’t worry about it.
- A little write up would also be nice. Tells us about yourself, about your work. Include an artist statement if you have one. Again though no pressure. Sometimes the images can speak for themselves.
Where to send it? Just drop me a line at [email protected] with “emerging mud” in the subject.
Thanks everyone!

1st edition, October 9 – November 3, 2013
Cluj-Napoca, Romania
Cluj International Ceramics Biennale is the first contemporary
ceramics biennale organized in Romania, and is aiming to become an
international meeting place for ceramic artists.
Expressing artistic sensibilities using the means of ceramic art is
on a growing scale amongst artists all over the world, and in the last
years the contemporary ceramics field started to be seen as a
contribution to the major arts. The first edition of the biennale has
the potential to change old mentalities, focusing on the contemporary
context and presenting the diversity of concepts and techniques in the
innovative field of contemporary ceramics.
Cluj International Ceramics Biennale (CICB 2013) is organized by
Ceramart Foundation and Ceramics Now Association, in partnership with
Cluj-Napoca Art Museum, the University of Arts and Design Cluj-Napoca,
and The Romanian Fine Artists Union. The ceramics biennale will be held
in several locations in the city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, during October
9 – November 3, 2013.
The CICB’s goal is to act as a contemporary meeting point for ceramic
artists from all over the world. This artistic event will introduce the
Romanian public to contemporary ceramic artists, practices and new
concepts in the field. The biennale will also get round national and
international institutions to work together with the aim of creating a
living environment for ceramics in the city of Cluj-Napoca.
The profound changes in the world today, whether socio-economic,
political or techno-scientific, have strongly influenced the artists’
search for new ways of expression, and engendered a change in how the
creative act is viewed, both in terms of means of expression and in
terms of message. Sensitive to the slightest changes of artistic canon in the global
Agora of contemporary arts, ceramic art evolves toward an
interdisciplinary and integrative strategy. The new concepts that are
gaining ground in the field attest to an aesthetic simbiosis with forms
of expressivity specific to other artistic fields, while at the same
time, retaining and accentuating – an experimental development specific
to the field. The outcome could form an ingenious and resourceful
alchemy.
