JANET FIELDHOUSE IN KERAMEIKOS EXHIBITION AT CHAU CHAK WING MUSEUM
24.08.2024
In ancient Athens, the Kerameikos was the potter’s quarter, a hub of innovation where artisans produced some of the most sought-after ceramics of the Mediterranean region. Kerameikos at the University of Sydney’s Chau Chak Wing Museum brings together seven leading Australian ceramic artists to create a contemporary potters’ quarter within the Museum.
Each artist has been invited to explore the Museum’s historic and diverse collections during a week-long intensive residency, collaborating closely with the curatorial team. The resulting commissioned works will provide a fresh perspective on some of Australia’s oldest collections, challenging historical narratives and pushing the boundaries of ceramic practice today.
