EXHIBITION
An exhibition in the Prague gallery Kvalitář will introduce selected artworks by the participants of the 28th International Symposium of Ceramics Bechyně (2018) by placing them in the context of the most interesting works created during the symposia in the 1960s and 1970s. Behind the selection of the Symposium’s contributors was an attempt to present the vast range of approaches to ceramics in a wider context of contemporary art. Discussions about the relationship of art and craft and exploration of the borderline between a simple container and sculpture were the reasons for founding the Symposium in the mid-1960s. Artistic principles and their relationship to the current approaches were thus taken into account when selecting present-day works of art.
