Showing now: 14th Ceramics Triennial
 |
| Dejan Prendić |
The Ceramics Triennial,
manifestation with the decades-long tradition has well-deserved
reputation as the event which embraced the most important
accomplishments of the art of ceramics. Enriched by the contemporary
ceramic production in which design, technique and concept play crucial
roles, the current Ceramics Triennial features artistic creations and individual poetics of the contemporary production, too.
The exhibition of the 14th Ceramics Triennial features, along with the show of the authorial works, the individual exhibition of artist Larisa Ackov, who presents her works as the laureate of the Grand Prize of the 13th Ceramics Triennial. Works created by a group of Hungarian ceramists, are also on the show, which are housed in the collection of International Ceramic Studio from Kečkemet. Numerous educational, interactive workshops and lectures for students and grade school pupils will take place in Museum of Applied Art.
The cooperation between Museum of Applied Art in Belgrade and the Modern Gallery "Likovni susret" from Subotica, proved very fruitful once more. As organizers of 14th Ceramics Triennial, which took place in Subotica between December 2012 and March 2013, they will present the latest accomplishments and concepts in the contemporary ceramics to the public in Belgrade, as well, between May 11 and May 31, 2013.
The catalog of the exhibition of 14th Ceramics Triennial, which was published in Subotica, will be available also in Belgrade, during the exhibition. For this occasion, Museum of Applied Art in Belgrade prepared a leaflet with a short survey of 14th Ceramics Triennial.

emerging artist: Casey Zablocki
Casey Zablocki was born and raised in the Upper Peninsula
and is currently a ceramic artist residing in Denver, Colorado. He received his BFA from Finlandia
University and studied ceramic design in Kuopio Finland. He spent one year working and studying
as an apprentice to Peter Callas and as a special student at Montana State. He
has showed in both National and International exhibitions.
“I believe in form and function, craft and industry, which all need to be considered to create a balance in beauty. Knowing beauty is just a perception it allows me to use clay as a natural vehicle to transport my ideas. My ideas are influenced by my past and my present surroundings. I find acceptance that each idea will not be successful and believe if I continue the process of creating, my perception of success will change. I find wood firing to be the most efficient artistic tool in finishing my work.”
