Australian Ceramics Triennale

Its coming ....28th September-1st October 2012........

A quote from the Australian Ceramics Triennale  website  ..

"The theme for this conference is ‘Subversive Clay’ and over four days it will explore clay as a medium capable of challenging artistic, social and cultural issues through an investigation across past traditions and invigorating new experimentations.

Representing excellence in contemporary clay practice from around the world, the conference will consider how ceramic artists contest traditional approaches to clay as a medium, as an important art form, and thus its role in society."

Clare Twomey from the UK will be one of the keynote speakers..

have you seen her installations?She certainly challenges and pushes the boundarys of what clay will do....have a look at her installation at the V&A Museum a few years ago 'Trophy' ...  

There is also the blog for the Triennale .

The other exciting event is the Australian Ceramics Association members Exhibition(held in Adelaide) , celebrating 50 years of The Journal of Australian Ceramics...
