Display Disruption, Talking Contemporary Ceramics

Join us for this free panel discussion with David Cushway, Ingrid Murphy and Clare Twomey!Talking Contemporary Ceramics invites current ceramic artists to discuss ideas that challenge traditional notions of what it is to display ceramics. Join the panel including David Cushway, Ingrid Murphy and Clare Twomey for a discussion on innovative ceramic artwork display, with an opportunity for discussion and questions at the end.One of a series of talks as part of our Esmee Fairbairn funded Swansea Stories project, where your ideas help shape the future of the gallery.David Cushway's work is underpinned by a fascination with clay as a medium; the history of clay use is the history of humanity; it is the material that binds us to the earth that we inhabit.
His practice operates in the arenas between art and craft and is often a direct comment upon the difference and indeed common ground between the two.Ingrid Murphy's work focuses on augmenting ceramic artefacts with a range of interactive technologies. She exploits and plays with the boundaries of ceramic material to create innovative and playful interactions and experiences.
She uses sound, humour and autobiographical elements, creating engaging and playful ceramic works, which also bring to life the deeper historical and social histories of ceramic objects and their intended uses.Clare TwomeyContact the Gallery for all access information.
