Fragile! In Transit is the initial project of the Project Network 3 (three) collective, a group of 9 ceramic artists from across Europe. Throughout the course of one year, the artists are sending 9 pieces of work on a journey by post to each of their countries of residence. Fragile! In Transit engages with and responds directly to the notion of place, identity and culture. All the work is designed to fit into a prescribed box of similar format and together forms an exhibition centering on the balance between reality, fiction and perception of place. The project has already travelled to Ireland, Denmark and England. Upcoming destinations include Finland and Italy.
Artists: Elodie Alexandre – France/India, Roberta Giussani – Italy, Joseph Hopkinson – Wales, Katja Kotikoski – Finland, Claire Muckian – Northern Ireland, Eglė Pakšytė – Lithuania, Jill Shaddock – England, Helene Søs Schjødts – Denmark, Katie Spragg – England.
The group met at a six week symposium for recent ceramic graduates at Guldagergaard International Ceramic Centre in Denmark last year.
