“The Definition of madness is, always doing the same things by expecting something different.” – Albert Einstein
The exhibition that deals with the great diversity of ceramic shall create a dialogue between artists. Plastic objects from Kunsthaus Kannen meet international art from the Netherlands and Belgium. There will be abstract and figurative works been presented to our visitors. A matter of particular interest is repetition by abstract ceramic works. Repetition in this case means to use always the same motive. For the artist does that often mean to locate himself in his environment. The mostly identical objects represent some kind of constancy, safety and habit felt by the artist who always does the same. Harmony und rhythm are also important terms in context with repetitive art in ceramic. The numerous emerging objects arise from the immense creative urge from the artists.
Workshops with several artists attend the exhibition. The workshops should show the visitors how it works to do something creative with clay.
