The human figure has been represented in clay throughout history and continues to evolve today. Artists are working with the figure in new ways, playing with materials and forms, and making use of new technologies to produce challenging and unconventional work, from the intact whole figure to the fragmented, hybrid and abstract. Ceramics and the Human Figure profiles an international range of ceramic artists, all practicing within the fields of installation and sculpture. Divided by broad themes, each chapter explores a variety of different expressive works. The book explores the role of figurative ceramics through history and in contemporary contexts. It also reveals the methods of six key artists, using how-to images to illustrate their techniques. For artists, collectors, and anyone interested in these themes, Ceramics and the Human Figure is an exciting survey of the state of the figure in clay today.

A musical instrument is a witness of the many human visual and aural sensibilities, beliefs and dreams. It is not just a technical object, but one with its own aesthetic properties, an object that makes a variety of characteristic sounds without necessarily the existence of a connection between its visual and sound aesthetic. Preserving an instrument means therefore preserving our culture, our history, our dreams.The conference, open to all museum professionals, was intended to present and critically discuss the latestresearch about diagnostic techniques applied to musical instruments as well as advanced conservation practices, use of materials, collections management, through the presentation of case studies. Its main objective was to be a forum for the exchange of information, seeking to promote the transfer of knowledge regarding the daily activities of preservation and to facilitate the exchange of scientific information and opportunities for collaboration among researchers from different backgrounds. The proceedings contain a selection of the papers presented in 2010 and 2011.

Dank der bewussten Reduktion in Form und Farbe entfalten die Keramiken der Schweizerin Sonja Duo-Meyer (geb. 1953) eine enorme Ausdruckskraft.

Oberflache, Material, Korper und Technik sind durch ein minimalistisches Gestaltungskonzept verwoben, das Leere und Stille zelebriert.Objektfotografien und Ausstellungsansichten zeigen Gefae, Objekte und Wandinstallationen aus den Jahren 1992 bis 2017. Arbeiten und Eindrucke aus dem Keramik-Zentrum Tajimi, in dem sich die Kunstlerin als Artist in Residence intensiv mit den Techniken Japans auseinandersetzte, werden besonders hervorgehoben.Diese erste umfassende Monografie uber Sonja Duo-Meyer prasentiert in spannungsreichen Abbildungen und informativen Beitragen die Entwicklung einer nun uber 40 Jahre andauernden Karriere in der gegenwartigen keramischen Kunst.
