I was recently contacted by Michael Angelotti who you may remember from his artist of the day profile right here on musing last december (see that post here) regarding a new project he’s working on. He’s set up a Kickstarter site to try and get some funding to help get the project under way. It sounds pretty interesting so if you have a minute please check it out here and donate if you can.
Here’s a bit about the project:
‘Dissolving Tendencies’ – Recreating Today’s Waste into Tomorrow’s Art
“The project I am requesting funds for is to recreate, to scale, the amount of landfill waste I accumulate in the 2010 calendar year. Since January 1st, I have been documenting the amount of waste that is directly related to my consumption. Packaging, cans, paper, food, etc has all been reused, composted, or recorded to be recreated. The project guidelines are very specific and take into account all aspects of use on a day-to-day basis. Items deemed ‘waste’ will be re-created out of clay using the ceramic processes of handbuilding and slip casting, and be presented as a singular pile of waste in an exhibit scheduled for June 2011.”

In the Borderlands of Art:
…the future terrain
of architecture & ceramics
Thursday, March 25 | 6 pm Ceramics Studio
Architecture, like ceramics, occupies a place between art and craft, ornament and function. Historically, the two disciplines are fundamentally similar, accommodating the most sacred rituals and the humblest of human needs.
Indeed, many buildings and their parts —and for a very long time—are made of ceramics. This lecture will explore the mutually beneficial relationships, both past and future, between the ceramic arts and architecture.
Professor Terri Fuglem is currently an Associate Professor in the University of Manitoba Department of Architecture. She received a BArch (five-year professional degree) in Architecture at Carleton University and an MArch in the History and Theory of Architecture at McGill University. Professor Fuglem has practiced in Ontario, Québec and London, England, and taught architecture at Carleton University, Dalhousie University, and the University of Manitoba. Her research interests include the history of modern architecture in Canada, the relationships between form and materiality, and the effects of the global economy on local systems of trade and exchange, and particularly with the effects of regional production on architecture.
Terri Fuglem’s lecture is part of an exchange between Ceramics and Architecture.
There is no cost to attend this event – everyone is welcome.

European Ceramic Workcentre Netherlands
The European Ceramic Workcentre in the Netherlands offers opportunities for artists, designers and architects to explore the technical and artistic possibilities of ceramics. Applications are being accepted for their 2010 residency program.
As an artist-in-residence centre, the .ekwc annually welcomes about 44 artists, designers an architects to experiment with ceramics for a continuous or phased period of three months.
The .ekwc does not only offer studios, workplaces, the most advanced equipment and living space, but also the support of a team of specialists. This team gives a unique added value to the residency as 75% of the participants have no or little experience with ceramics. Intensive guidance allows the participants to realize their prearranged work plans.
The residency is concluded with a final presentation.
