Australian Ceramic Stories

I feel so privilege to be part of this amazing exhibition. I was there at the opening last weekend and participated in a one day forum. What a fantastic weekend.

Check out my photo and Video section to see the show (www.vipaust.multiply.com).

Here is the blur about the exhibiton.

Like a book of short stories, Australian Ceramic Stories (ACS) is an exhibition of many tales, told through the work of twelve Australian Ceramicists. Surveying the work of artists from across the country, the exhibition includes many new works by some of the Nation's most highly regarded ceramic artists.

Dubbo Regional Gallery - The Armati Bequest is staging the exhibition from 5 April - 18 May 2008 at Western Plains Cultural Centre. Curated by Dr Julia Jones, the exhibition is inspired by Canadian ceramicist Matthias Ostermann’s research which resulted in the book The Ceramic Narrative in 2006.

All of the ceramicists tell stories about Australia in ways that stretch the narrative capabilities of clay, and draw our attention to the versatility of the medium. The exhibition engages with contemporary themes and ideas in the broader visual arts and ceramic practices and the various ways in which narrative is shared.

Participating artists are Stephen Benwell, Louise Boscacci, Kris Coad, Patrick Collins, Bern Emmerichs, Gudrun Klix, Pip McManus, Fleur Schell, Mel Robson, Thanakupi, Gerry Wedd, and me!
