I have a dream:
1,000 ceramicists meet at the Museum of Modern Art
in New York City (53rd Street between 5th and 6th
Avenues on the north side of the street) on Friday,
August 21, 2015 at 4pm. Each ceramist brings one
small ceramic object and meets in the main second
floor gallery at exactly 5:01pm. At 5:07pm, all 1,000
ceramists place their ceramic object on the floor of
the museum with the manifesto “the medium doesn’t
matter; all media are equally viable for artistic
expression.”
PS Entry to MoMA is free on Fridays, 4-8pm

L. Red
1963
“The largest and most lustrous lacquered egg in our show, L. Red, 1963, is
somewhat more vertical, and the opening is above the meridian of the orb. On
this work, Price did not use lines, but described shapes in an intense, deep
magenta. These are excellent examples of the work from this time
period” (Frank Lloyd, “Vanguard Ceramics: John Mason, Ken Price, and Peter
Voulkos,” in Clay’s Tectonic Shift)

Shinichi Sawada’s work on display Venice Bienale, 2013
ShinichiSawada

Shinichi Sawada’s is
autistic and barely
speaks a word, but his
spiked ceramic works
depict a world
populated by
fantastical sea-
monsters and mythical
demons. Using his
long, slender fingers
with intricate
precision, he works in
silence and completes
even his largest
ceramic sculptures in
4-5 days.

“Sakti is the curatorial theme of the
Indonesia Pavilion. This Sanskrit term is
associated with the primordial cosmic
energy and with the personification of
divine, feminine creative power, as well as
change and liberation”
“Of Hindu origin, the concept of Sakti was
quickly integrated into local cosmology. Given
Indonesia’s 700 living languages, Sakti can
denote the foundational creative principle and
represents the unifying spirit of the Indonesian
Nation”

Pavilion

“The 16 foot long squid (weighing 660 pounds)
is crafted from ceramic coated with a lead and
copper glaze. For this exhibit, the artist has it
laying in a pool of what appears to be the
squid’s own ink, but which is actually dyed
corn syrup. The squid is part of Zink Yi’s first
New York City solo exhibition Pneuma, a
group of seven experimental works.”

“Trophy” was a temporary installation created in
the Cast Courts of the V&A Museum; the
museum wished to engage with ceramics in a
unique way and to encourage interest in non-
traditional approaches to material specialist
interests. Clare Twomey’s installation comprised
4000 birds made from Wedgwood Jasper blue
clay displayed throughout the Cast Courts; the
work considered the nature of the building and
its historic role, to permanently hold a valuable
collection for public view.
The birds could be taken away, creating a unique
activity in the context of the museum: visitors
were able to effectively steal an object from the
V&A’s collections. By collaborating with
Wedgwood in their production, Twomey
attributed a sense of history and worth to each
individual bird; the audience perceived them as
precious and desirable.

Clare Twomey Forever 2010 Nelson Atkins Museum, Kansas City, MO
Working with Hartley Greens & Co. Leeds Pottery, a ceramics factory in northern England that has produced functional
earthenwares since the 18th century, Twomey authored a model of the Sandbach Cup for the site-specific installation
Forever. This cup was reproduced 1,345 times, honoring the number of works in the Burnap donation.
In addition to viewing the installation, visitors had an opportunity to own a Cup. Visitors viewed the vast collection of the
cups, and they had the opportunity to become owners. Visitors completed and signed a Deed that asked prospective
owners to consider why they want the work of art, and consider why and how they value the Cup. They signed a Deed
committing them to care for a Cup forever – just as the Burnaps required the Nelson-Atkins to sign their Deed of Gift nearly
70 years ago.

Clare Twomey
1000 cups and saucers are displayed in artist Clare Twomey's installation 'Exchange' at the Foundling Museum on
June 14, 2013 in London, England. Ceramic artist Clare Twomey has inscribed individual good deeds onto the cups
and saucers, encouraging visitors to undertake a deed in exchange for a piece of the installation.

I have a dream:
1,000 ceramicists meet at the Museum of Modern Art
in New York City (53rd Street between 5th and 6th
Avenues on the north side of the street) on Friday,
August 21, 2015 at 4pm. Each ceramist brings one
small ceramic object and meets in the main second
floor gallery at exactly 5:01pm. At 5:07pm, all 1,000
ceramists quietly place their ceramic object on the
floor of the museum with the manifesto “the medium
doesn’t matter; all media are equally viable for
artistic expression.”
PS Entry to MoMA is free on Fridays, 4-8pm
