Hjorths Fabrik

KNOWLEDGE-SHARING SESSION 3

TITLE: Reconsidering the past to form a sustainable future
CONTENT: Since the 18th century, the island of Bornholm in Denmark has been a centre of industrial ceramic production due to its rich natural resources, large clay deposits and granite. Even after the natural resources have been exhausted, the legacy of generations of making has a palpable resonance on the island. These post-industrial and heritage sites are now part of the recognizable cultural identity of Bornholm.

Today's contemporary ceramicists stand on the shoulders of ceramic production, and it is important to reconsider past practices to form a sustainable future for ceramics.

This session will begin with a tour of the historic site and living museum of Hjorths Fabrik, one of the best-preserved industrial monuments in Scandinavia, where ceramic production dates back to 1862. Continues with presentations and panel debate.

INTERPRETATIONS OF SOIL

Myths in different cultures tell us that the first humans were created from soil. The word ‘humus’ has shared roots with the word ‘human’, and christian burial rituals often conclude with variations on ‘Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.’ Many contemporary artists reflect on the precarious status of soil and its aesthetic and political implications in works that take on environmental, mythological/narrative and personal issues. Acknowledging both the sculptural and symbolic potential of soil, they construct objects and map and listen to the earth in order to tells its stories and explore the sensuous qualities of soil.

TIME: Saturday 14.09.2024 Exhibition Opening at 17.15
VENUE: Køppe Contemporary Objects, Munch Petersen Vej 9, 3700 Rønne
