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.

"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." -- Glenn Adamson, Senior Scholar at the Yale Center for British Art and Editor of the Journal of Modern Craft, USA "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." -- Susan Surette, Art History Researcher at Concordia University, Canada, 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.

Synopsis
Laura Breen's insightful study examines the relationship between art-oriented ceramic practice and museum practice, addressing profound shifts in making and display since 1970., Ceramics and the Museum interrogates the relationship between art-oriented ceramic practice and museum practice in Britain since 1970. Laura Breen examines the identity of ceramics as an art form, drawing on examples of work by artist-makers such as Edmund de Waal and Grayson Perry; addresses the impact of policy making on ceramic practice; traces the shift from object to project in ceramic practice and in the evolution of ceramic sculpture; explores how museums facilitated multisensory engagement with ceramic material and process, and analyses the exhibition as a text in itself. Proposing the notion that 'gestures of showing,' such as exhibitions and installation art, can be read as statements, she examines what they tell us about the identity of ceramics at particular moments in time. Highlighting the ways in which these gestures have constructed ceramics as a category of artistic practice, Breen argues that they reveal gaps between narrative and practice, which in turn can be used to deconstruct the art., Ceramics and the Museum interrogates the relationship between art-oriented ceramic practice and museum practice in Britain since 1970.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged.
I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is.
This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
