Omschrijving

It has been exciting, over the past decade, to see ceramics assuming a long-awaited central place in contemporary art. While very much to be welcomed, this process has been marked by a certain amnesia, a lack of awareness about the specific character of clay. Laura Breen’s book is a timely remedy. She offers a sophisticated and deeply informed view, approaching display as its own discursive form. "Ceramics and the Museum" is essential reading not just for those interested in this one discipline, but anyone interested in how museums approach medium-specific art and design.

It has been exciting, over the past decade, to see ceramics assuming a long-awaited central place in contemporary art. While very much to be welcomed, this process has been marked by a certain amnesia, a lack of awareness about the specific character of clay. Laura Breen’s book is a timely remedy. She offers a sophisticated and deeply informed view, approaching display as its own discursive form. "Ceramics and the Museum" is essential reading not just for those interested in this one discipline, but anyone interested in how museums approach medium-specific art and design.

Breen’s insightful, meticulously researched and much-needed examination of the dense interplay between exhibitionary strategies and clay practices is a significant and provocative contribution to current museological and ceramic discourses and practices. Six thematic and revealing chapters tackle the tensions facing curators and makers who defend ceramics as a ghettoized field or champion its pluralism.

Laura Breen is Impact and Engagement Manager at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. She has a PhD from the University of Westminster, gained as part of the AHRC-funded project ‘Ceramics in the Expanded Field’.
