I’m sure you’ve already checked out the show, but in case you haven’t you’d better get over there, pots are selling fast.
Here’s a few of my faves (but really there’s not one in the bunch I’d toss out of the cupboard)

“l’artisan electronique is a virtual potting wheel and ceramic printer created by the belgian design studio unfold with tim knapen. the installation was commissioned by Z33 art centre in hasselt, belgium for their current exhibition, design by performance which is on show until may 30, 2010. the installation enables exhibit visitors to make their own forms using the device. some of the forms are printed out at regular intervals and showcased as a part of the exhibit. the virtual pottery wheel utilizes a 3d scanner and digital software to generate a form. the intent is to refer to the tradition of traditional ceramic making, while using the latest digital technology. the ceramic printer also makes this point by printing the clay forms using the traditional coil technique.”

soledad senlle gallery, amsterdam
april 10 – may 15, 2010
“amsterdam’s soledad senlle gallery will be showing the work of french artists arnold goron & emilie faif in a dreamlike installation titled ‘the limpet & the cloud’. faif’s work is mostly textile based, consisting of sculptural pieces that have a handmade feel and often have a moving component. goron on the other hand, works in stoneware and earthenware. his pieces are abstract and explore the surface of the material, taking angular or round perspectives. when combined, the work of these two artists explores the world of fantasy and dreams. their abstract and imaginative works evoke another world.”
