Art and ceramics
\nFrom Rodin to Sh\u00fctte<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting Wednesday March 9th, the exhibition CERAMIX<\/i> opens for three months in two different locations: at the Maison rouge in Paris and at the Cit\u00e9 de la C\u00e9ramique in S\u00e8vres. The exhibition explores the relationships between art and ceramic during the XXth and XXIst centuries and gathers 250 works of art from both public and private collections. With the creations of 100 artists from 25 different countries, it is the first exhibition focusing on this topic so extensively, both chronologically and geographically.<\/p>\n

Too often associated to a craft, ceramics were considered for a long time as a \u201cminor art\u201d, at least until the beginning of the XXth century, when Auguste Rodin and Paul Gauguin started using this material in a totally innovating way, revolutionizing the art of sculpture. CERAMIX<\/em> starts there and takes us to today, punctuating the journey with a themed scenography leading visitors to different entrances. From the tradition of Italian ceramics, the Japenese Sodeisha movement or the 1960s Funk Art, to Land Art and ceramics as a tool for social and political criticism, CERAMIX<\/em> examines the continuity of the use of this material throughout the history of modern and contemporary sculpture.<\/p>\n

The exhibition aims at exploring all the possibilities ceramic has to offer, at providing a new perspective on \u201cearth exposed to fire\u201d, and at showing how artists have experimented with this material.<\/span><\/p>\n
