‘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.

Last chance to check out some amazing ceramic shows at the Surrey Art Gallery
The future is already here: Alex McLeod and Brendan Tang
January 19 to March 24, 2013
See related events.
What if the cyberworld of video games entered the frame of
19th century western landscape painting? Or if Ming Dynasty-style
ceramic vessels fused with the cartoon pop of contemporary
anime? Artists Alex McLeod and Brendan Tang deploy an arsenal of Asian
and Western historical styles, science fiction, popular culture, and new
technologies as they combine ceramics, photography, and projected video
to create mesmerizing fantasy worlds that probe the boundaries between
the real and the virtual.
The heart of this exhibition is a collaborative mixed-media
installation by Tang and McLeod that blends digital projection with
ceramic sculpture. Each artist is also represented by a selection of
independent work. Inspired by video games, Romantic landscape paintings,
and dioramas, McLeod’s surreal environments depicted in large panoramic
photographs exist in their own indeterminate time and space. Brendan
Tang’s colourful and wildly incongruous Manga Ormolu ceramic vessels
fuse Asian and Western historical decorative styles with pop art forms
derived from Japanese anime and manga. Guest curated by Rachel Lafo.
Ornamentalism: Clint Neufeld and Dirk Staschke

Everyday forms – from furniture and fruit to car engines and
confections – are transformed into poignant allegories of desire,
labour, and leisure by these two virtuoso ceramic sculptors.

Plane & Solid: The Geometries of Marc Digeros, Mark Pharis, Alison Reintjes, and Hans Peter Sundquist
March 15 – April 23, 2013
Reception: Friday, March 15, 6-8pm
Referring to the two types of geometry—2D and 3D—“Plane & Solid”
presents four artists who experiment with shape, pattern, and color to
create work with strong geometric structure. In the wall sculptures of
Alison Reintjes, the paintings of Hans Peter Sundquist, and the
functional ceramics of Marc Digeros and Mark Pharis, viewers are invited
to investigate the boundary between art and math. Through both
intuitive and scientific approaches, the artists use simple shapes to
construct objects of both intrigue and elegance.
