Ceramics and its dimensions

The EU project “Ceramics and its Dimensions”, which was lead by Porzellanikon, came to an end after four years. The project partners from all over Europe met at the beginning of November 2018 in the premises of the Bavarian State Representative in Berlin for their final conference. The interdisciplinary project has provided lasting impulses – with a view to the history of ceramics as well as their design and production.Two scientific sessions were held within the framework of the project: Belgrade in 2015 and Stoke-on-Trent in 2017. The stated aim of the two events was to make the ceramic heritage fruitful for the creativity of tomorrow and to foster dialogue between research and society. The kick-off event in particular contributed to the formation of transnational networks. The debates documented on paper and in digital formats are a treasure trove of lasting value.Visibility for a wide audience was ensured by a traveling exhibition, which was prepared by the Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche in Faenza and which was exhibited in 2015 in Selb. She proved that ceramics is a universal language that has its local dialects. This diversity can only be grasped when museums cooperate internationally. Especially from East Central Europe the exhibition showed many objects that changed our image of ceramics in the 20th century. Treasures that are in the public eye but are mostly overlooked were documented by the Museum of Ceramics in Valencia. Here, a database of building-based ceramics was created, flanked by book publications, social media activities, and an app was developed. Without the pooled competences of several institutions, this act of strength would not have been possible.A core topic of the project was actively shaping the future. Concern for cultural tradition goes hand in hand with the promotion of artistic and technical innovation. In the module “Shaping the Future” students from Helsinki, Berlin, Belfast and Copenhagen came to a workshop in the porcelain factory KAHLA/Thüringen Porzellan GmbH. At the same time outstanding young artists were honored as “Future Lights in Ceramics”. The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery in Stoke-on-Trent provided a central building block with his reciepe book for educational work with clay.
