Ceramic Museum of Montelupo

Italy
Press release:
"Ceramic archetype par excellence, the vase transcends from the history of art to became history of humanity. Through its forms, its decorations, and in all its heterogeneous use and size, the vase since the dawn of time tells the story of the different civilizations and, coherently with the evolution of the history of the Art, it goes out little after half of the twentieth century from the frame of the decorative or applied arts to enter that of sculpture or even a more profound and conceptual art. The exhibition wants to tell this passage by renewing narrative threads that unfold from the second half of the 60s of the twentieth century to today. It does so respecting that heterogeneity that has always been the main characteristic of the vase and therefore ranging with great freedom between two genres that usually belong to the world of contemporary ceramics non-communicating fields: the one produced by the great masters of the material and that of the artists that experience it from the outside, making use of refined and skilled workers. Great Masters of matter, the first, great artists often conceptual, the latter, united from an attitude that moves the object from the destiny of daily use to bring it to the territories of refined, with contemplative plastic and chromatic power or of deep conceptual experiments. Vessels of international importance borrowed from public and private collections of absolute importance coexists with vases produced on the territory in previous construction sites and experiences with the contemporary, which will once again lead companies, artists and artisans of Montelupo to dialogue with experimentation, in a path always tended to multiply the knowledge, the opportunities for visibility and above all the identity prospects."
