This groundbreaking book is the first to provide a critical
overview of the relationship between contemporary ceramics and
curatorial practice in museum culture. Ceramic objects form a major
part of museum collections, with connections to anthropology,
archaeology and other disciplines that engage with the cultural and
social history of humankind. In recent years museums have provided
the impetus for cutting-edge artistic practice, either as a
response to particular collections, or as part of exhibitions. But
the question of how museums have staged contemporary ceramics and
how ceramic artists respond to museum collections has not been the
subject of published research to date. This book examines how
ceramic artists have, over the last decade, begun to animate museum
collections in new ways, and reflects on the impact that these new
initiatives have had in the broad context of visual culture.
Ceramics in the Expanded Field is the culmination of a three-year
AHRC funded project, and reflects its major findings. It brings
together leading international voices in the field of ceramics,
research undertaken throughout the project and papers delivered at
the concluding conference. By examining the benefits and
constraints of interventions and the dialogue between ceramics and
museological practice, this book will bring focus to an area of
museology that has not yet been theorized, and will contribute to
policy debates and art practice.
