Lecture:<\/strong>\u00a0Thursday, 22\/2\/24 at 16:30<\/p>\n

We are happy to invite you to a lecture by Marek Cecula (b.1944, Poland) who for several decades has been a leading figure in the international field of ceramic design, in the productive\u00a0 connection between design and art and the special relationship with porcelain. It is a unique opportunity to hear Cecula who is active as a designer, artist, maker, curator, and educator. His spirit is international and at present he works in Poland and New York after years that he moved between Israel, Brazil, Norway, England, and other countries.
\nCecula\u2019s works cross between different worlds that are sometimes in apposition and have drawn world attention to the industrial production of porcelain as a carrier of culture, as a subject for investigation and as an active playing field that is legitimate and poetic.
\nHe is a pioneer and has made a unique contribution creating a world trend amongst designers and artists that began working on the seam between industry and craft \u2013 a movement that changed the face of ceramic design in the world. The outcome of this trend was shown in a monumental exhibition THE OBJECT FACTORY (2008 \u2013 2009), curated by Marek Cecula at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto, Canada and at the MAD Museum in New York, USA.\u00a0
\nIn the lecture Cecula will talk about his work, about working on the border between industrial production and one-off creations with a personal statement, where porcelain \u2013 the Nobel Savage of ceramic materials is at the heart of his making.<\/p>\n
