After travelling to Northern Ireland,
Denmark and England, ‘Fragile! In Transit’ – which was featured on this bloglast September – is currently showing in Cardiff, Wales.
                 
‘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.

Fragile In Transit the Doodle bar, 33 Parkgate Road, London. 18th – 23rd October 2012


An exciting new journey has begun; Fragile in Transit, a travelling exhibition, offers an opportunity to see exciting new work by emerging international ceramic artists at the Doodle bar, London this October.
This exhibition is curated by Project Network 3(three) a collective of nine ceramicists. The pieces which all reference ‘balance’ in some way will travel between each of the artists’ hometowns, visiting Helsinki, Vilnius and Milan, amongst others.

After a successful opening exhibition in Belfast’s Maxwell Street Studios as part of Northern Ireland’s Craft Month, the show will travel to Bornholm, Denmark and then onto London where the work can be seen in the Doodle bar; an old Victorian dairy warehouse in Battersea. The show opens at 6pm on Thursday 18th October 2012 and runs for six days.

The group met at six week symposium for recent ceramic graduates at Guldagergaard International Ceramic Centre in Denmark earlier this year.
