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.

a site 2 see friday: Recycled China
From the website:“Recycled China is a design team consisting of artists
Thomas Schmidt and Jeff Miller. During the factory production of ceramic
products, there is on average a 4% loss rate; items which in one way or
another are imperfect and therefore do not reach the market. Once
fired, ceramic materials are no longer usable and simply end up in
landfills around the world. As an alternative to using mined materials,
Recycled China is about reusing ceramic waste and other industrial
waste into the form of architectural tile, functional design works, and
sculptural objects. “
