Book Description:
|
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. This book examines how ceramic artists have 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.
