GROUP EXHIBITION

Relaciรณn cerรกmica; The legacy of a craft made art, when time and distance are not. Relaciรณn cerรกmica is an exhibition of plastic arts based on ceramics in its broadest sense. The main focus of the exhibition is the work of the artists Mestre and Hayashi and their disciples, created more than ten thousand kilometres away and with respect for the different cultures of East and West. The filter of art has made artistic creation transcend social conditions. Respect for personal creation raises the value of the artistic diversity that can be seen in this exhibition.

Artists: Yasuo Hayashi, Enric Mestre, Anna Pastor, Ana Felipe, Beatriz Carbonell, Myriam Jimรฉnez, Nozomi Kitao, Pau Ruiz, Presen Rico, Supi Hsu, Teresa Aparicio, Teresa Guerrero, Xavier Monsaltvaje, Sachiko Izawa, Juan Luis Tortosa, Masanori Izawa, Mayu Ueda, Carmen Sรกnchez, Concha Regnรฉ, Rafaela Pareja, Juan Ortรญ, Yoshikazu Ikeda, Carmen Marcos, Miki Okuda, Fanny Galera, Toshihiko Okuno, Carmen Ballester y Bibiana Martรญnez.Con la colaboraciรณn especial: Satoha Izawa y Takamaru Marcha Izawa.

SOLO EXHIBITION
USSADE. Anne-Laure Cano, CERCO 21 Award.

Since moving to Spain over a year ago, Anne-Laure has been working on a new series of works that explore the themes of adaptation and limitations. Ussade, inspects her own experience of otherness immersed in a new language and a new culture. Using his pieces, which he breaks up and reincorporates into new ones, he reflects on how a foreign person has to adapt and transform to a new environment, raising questions about identity and sense of belonging. The aesthetic of this series is freely influenced by the visual haikus of the poet Felรญcia Fuster. Anne-Laure, not being able to fully grasp the language of the poem, responds to the layers of stacked verses that formed an interesting visual object by creating this series of pieces. With them, she explores the unusual, the strange and the uncertain, the hidden meaning and the need to let go in order to see new forms and new meanings emerge.

SOLO EXHIBITION
The rhythm of the roots by Ana Felipe Royo

The Pablo Gargallo Museum is organising the solo exhibition of the artist Ana Felipe Royo entitled El ritmo de las raรญces (The rhythm of the roots).
An exhibition in which the artist works on the concept of identity and home by rediscovering the landscape of her grandparents’ birthplace, the Cariรฑena countryside. In Villanueva de Huerva, Zaragoza, is where she currently lives and works in a house-workshop with spaces for ceramics, engraving and photography, as her training is related to these three disciplines. She is a plastic artist with a degree in ceramics from the Escuela Superior de Diseรฑo y Artes de Valencia where she trained with Enrique Mestre. With extensive training in other related plastic activities such as volume, painting, photography and engraving. After finishing his studies in Valencia he attends a seminar with David Leach, and obtains a scholarship for the “seminar of ceramic studies” in the porcelain factory of Sargadelos (Lugo), where he collaborates in a project with Arcadio Blasco. He continues his training in Vizcaya from 1990 to 1999. He starts learning engraving techniques in the Basque artists’ collective Antxesaleak, and later takes several courses in Bilbao, Fundaciรณn Goya-Fuendetodos and at the Escuela Superior de Diseรฑo y Artes de Zaragoza.

GROUP EXHIBITION

The Juana Francรฉs Hall brings together ceramists from the city of Zaragoza to highlight the professional diversity of this craft and art. The exhibition shows 13 ceramic pieces made by each of the spaces and a publication with which to learn more about the people behind each project.

Ceramists: Artesanรญa Aliaga – Alejandra Castro – Azul cobalto – Caliche – Taller Ena – Espacio Incรณgnito – La Benditera – Las Bรณrax – Robin cerรกmica – Roc cerรกmica – Sara Monge – Sehahechotrizas – Terracotas Millรกn

GROUP EXHIBITION
Latent space

We inaugurate this biannual collaboration with the Master’s Degree in Ceramics and Function of the UPV/EHU in which we present a selection of three works by its students. Jesรบs Castillo, Joey Ordoรฑez and Ikerne Ilarregui have been selected to exhibit in the Espacio Latente, a space located inside the Centro de Artesanรญa de Aragรณn dedicated to projects by ceramics students.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

The Escuela Taller Cerรกmica de Muel is hosting Michal Puszczynski, a ceramist from Poland, in residence. We will be able to visit him during his stay and he will explain his interesting creative process on the final day of his stay.

Michal Puszczynski uses simple forms, organic shapes and common materials such as clay, earth, concrete, to evoke real emotions and associations with our own bodies and processes, which concern everything material. The fact that things destroyed, degraded, in ruins and seconds away from complete disintegration have always fascinated him does not stem from a pessimistic point of view. It is rather a belief that after destruction and disappearance, all things will begin again, giving hope for a renewed process of rebirth of life.

PARTICIPATORY ACTION
CERCO_ABIERTO, The Human Painter

A collaborative and open source clay construction. The fence is a line on the ground, a mark of time, a drawing that takes volume, grows and builds habitable spaces. CERCO_ABIERTO, THE HUMAN PRINTER, is an expanded and participatory three-day drawing process.

It will be drawn on the ground with special clay pastes imitating 3D printers. A free interpretation of the fence in which we will give relief to our imagination with clay mortar and with clay and lime mortar and pastry bags as a constructive element. The fence is this open space, which somehow welcomes without limiting. You can We can make a fence to protect our livestock or draw a magic fence on the ground to protect us from evil intentions.

Project by Mercรจ Jara Muns with the collaboration of Marina Rubio and Roberto Contador.

PERFORMANCE

Pascale Ciapp practices performance in its initial function, a critical function: artistic, social and reflexive criticism. Identity, memory, confinement, transfiguration, the status of the body and in particular of women in our society, the public-private border are recurrent themes in her research. Her acting body can be either body-subject/body-object, body/support, body/surface. It interacts with the space in which it acts. It is based on observations of the world that it transforms, confronts or deviates with a subjectivity assumed from its questioning. His interventions should be lived as the sharing of a unique experience created for and with the context in which he acts. The square of the old slaughterhouse in Zaragoza will be the stage for his performance specifically designed for CERCO 22.

CONFERENCE
THE CERAMIC MURALISM OF THE MODERN ZARAGOZA

Speaker: Sergio Sevilla Tabernero
The streets and faรงades of Zaragoza and the hallways of its buildings exhibit numerous ceramic murals that, many times, go unnoticed to our eyes. They are creations that reveal a new image of the city, that of the “Modern Zaragoza” designed during the 60s, 70s and 80s of the last century following the trends of the time in the fields of design and architecture. It was at this time that avant-garde ceramics were introduced for mural applications in architectural and urban planning projects, resulting in a profound development of ceramic muralism that has left the city with true artistic jewels that form part of the city’s cultural heritage.

In this conference we will discover what ceramic muralism is and why it had such a great development in Zaragoza with the appearance of brilliant ceramic artists, workshops and companies dedicated to its production. A golden age for ceramics that we must get to know and value.

CONFERENCE
CERAMIC RELATIONSHIP; A bridge between Valencia and Japan

Speaker: Bibiana Martรญnez Torrecilla
How did this ceramic movement originate? What is the path we have travelled since 2006? Where does the energy come from to promote each of the meetings and exhibitions we have held? What work does each of the artists in this exhibition develop? What connects us, what links us? To tell the story of this group, which treasures an artistic legacy that unites two cultures, two masters and their pleiades, with the common denominator of ceramics. The talk will show images of each of the meetings and exhibitions in which Relaciรณn Cerรกmica has participated, such as the one presented at the Museo Nacional de Cerรกmica Marquรฉs de Dos Aguas or at the Instituto Cervantes de Tokio in Japan. As well as each of the works exhibited at the Centro de Artesanรญa de Aragรณn.
