Description:

It is made up of two areas, a dark room with projected video and other space: a hidden room. The audience has access to the video screening room and discovers the hidden room through a hole (the wall opposite to the video). This hole allows perceiving the daily dynamics of a live ceramist studio.

The video is a loop between of the slow vanishing and apparition of an image is a set of Vienna Imperial Dinner Service of a page of auctions catalogue from Christie´s house.







The space of the things is a hidden space. It is a real space-time in parallel at the time of the show and outside of the museum regime: a comprehensive study of ceramic in situ. The ceramist produces, teaches, sells his pieces and receives visitors, clients and students. They are actors of a mise-en-scène without a previous script.


CERAMIC STUDIO in collaboration with the ceramist from Rosario: Graciela Pichard.
