Porcelain from Dora+Maja on Vimeo.

“Short movie about most expensive Ming vases found on Sotheby’s,
Christie’s and other fine arts auction house’s sites online that were
downloaded, printed on regular a4 paper and assembled into fragile
sculptures, wrapped up ready to be shipped to another continent. The
video is incarnation of the spirit of the record-breaking Ming Vase, a
superb blue and white meiping from the Yongle Imperial Period, which
Sotheby’s international head of Chinese ceramics and works of art
Nicolas Chow vividly describes as “macho” in reference to its atypically
un-waisted broad shouldered shape. Exploring the The China Factor as a
current cause of Westen art market instability, the ghetto boys bring
their Alpha and Revenge of Koons over China, while every violent act
they perform is celebrated by cathastropic soundtrack”

“Grayson Perry afforded us the rare opportunity of a visit to his studio
in Walthamstow, north-east London. Describing pottery as his gimmick,
Perry goes on to show us his process before explaining why he wants
people to be able to just enjoy art, rather than having to interpret it.”
