Winter is a cold in Jingdezhen.  The type of cold that make one shiver and chatter.  It is during this time when The Pottery Workshop Staff scrub our buildings, fix broken lockers, spruce up the showrooms and take care of all the overlooked details during the busy months.  We have had, and will have 2 Resident Artists until Chinese New Year.  One Dutch and one American.  The Creative Market will run until the final Saturday in January, then resume the first Saturday of March.  Design Studio is working on new projects and completing others in progress.  Education Center is buying new equipment to supplement the increasing number of residents…new racks, trash cans, organizer tools, etc.  We are also looking forward to inviting a couple more individuals to join our team in March.  Many eager individuals are being interviewed…

We hope you can come visit us in 2013, as we have a very busy year ahead of us.  For more information, please email infojdz@potteryworkshop.com.cn!!

艺术家们陈述

Saskia Pfaeltzer  www.saskiapfaeltzer.nl

我的作品是关于运动与互动为主题的。我主要做关于人体和动物状态的绘画和雕塑，例如他们（它们）休息的状态、舞蹈时候的状态、打斗或仅仅站立的状态。

在我的雕塑中会表现和记录他们（它们）的恐惧感或尴尬的情绪瞬间。

前两个月，我描绘了大部分的动物：老虎、狼、猩猩等。每件雕塑都带着一个底座，从而体现它的强大感。就好像我们，人类在黄昏是都聚集在一起，在寂静中舞蹈一样。

Inge Bečka  www.ingebecka.com

我作为一位建筑师的女儿，对于形状和造型耳濡目染。陶瓷，特别是陶器成为我试验与表达想法的最主要材料。对于陶瓷造型的着迷，它的触感和力量都在展览的作品中体现。

在乐天陶社国际驻场工作室的前两个月中，脑海中涌现了许多的创作灵感。

Wil van Blokland  www.wilvanblokland.nl

我的作品主题是关于人与人之间的联系。

作品主要是些较基本的形状，如一个容器，一个椭圆形，一个环形或以普普通通的土豆形状。

抽象概念是我更好去理解这个复杂的世界。这期间的作品是受佛教文化的影响，我想把内心的宁静视觉化并融入到作品当中。

Carla Kesteloo   www.carlakesteloo.nl

我生活在海边，这使我懂得去感恩海洋生命，因此这也是我的作品的主题。

各种鱼和水母对于生活在北海岸的人来说习以为常。

作为一位摄影师，我想邀请人们去看看他们日常生活中的事物并认识到他们的别样之处。在景德镇，当我在思量作品主题的时候是个很大的挑战。

我的作品是关于人与人之间的关系，喜悦和内在美。

在此我想把这次的展览献给我可爱的父母。

Dutch Dreams

Artists’ statement

Saskia Pfaeltzer

www.saskiapfaeltzer.nl

My work is about movement and interaction. I draw and sculpt human and animal figures resting, dancing, fighting, or merely standing.

I portray them in their emotional moments of fear or awkwardness.

In the last two months I have depicted mostly animals: tigers, wolves, and apes. Each sculpture rests on a base to give it a sense of mightiness. As if we, humble creatures, should gather around it at nightfall and dance in silence.

Inge Bečka

www.ingebecka.com

As the daughter of an architect, I was raised to see and learn much about form and shape. Ceramics, especially stoneware, became the material of my own experimentation and expression.

My fascination for these shapes in porcelain, its tactility and strength, is seen in this exhibition.

The last two months at the Pottery Workshop have been a spree of inspiration.

Wil van Blokland

www.wilvanblokland.nl

My subject is contact between human beings.

The focus of my work is the essential form, like a capsule, an oval, a ring, or just a single, simple potato.

Abstraction helps me to understand our very complex world. Buddhism has inspired me during this period of work. I want to visualize the inner silence.

Carla Kesteloo

www.carlakesteloo.nl

I’ve always lived at the seaside. That is how I came to appreciate sea life, and to adopt it as a theme in my artwork. Fishes and jellyfishes are commonplace, for us on the Northern coast.

As a photographer, I want to invite people to look at things in daily life and recognize that they are special. It has been a great challenge to realize my theme in ceramics, here in Jingdezhen.

It’s all about personal bonds, joy, and inner beauty.

I’d like to dedicate my exhibition to my lovely parents.

传统概念

什么是传统？什么是概念？

传统：历史悠久的时间或是一组人这样的做法。

概念：在脑海里一种思想或是观念，来自特定的情况或事件。

——美国传统词典

在我的创作过程中，概念从传统观念中出现。

然后概念，激发更多的想法，概念往往需要数年时间才能成熟。

当失败，我就把它们进行发酵，待日后成为发展的题材。

这个展览，我在探索三个概念：

首先，重新演绎中国绘画—通过不同的角度和眼光诠释传统绘画

其次，利用色域创作三位视觉效果的瓷画—操纵我们视觉经验（眼睛和大脑）

第三，艺术家和欺骗的艺术理论。

“文化可以算是神话，传说和寓言故事的延续，具有教育道德和伦理的作用。

我们知道这些是被夸大的故事，但我们不叫这些事谎言。艺术作品落入同一范

畴内，而艺术家们继续利用神话和寓言讲现代社会的故事。”

在Immanue Kant 道德形而上学的基础文章中，争辩说，说谎永远是错的。

欺骗的艺术是说谎的一种形式吗？艺术家有道德上的责任来说出真相吗？

真理是主观的吗？

——雷菲力

运动翻译2012.8.24—9.5

1.“Question One”

Shreepad Joglekar

Manhattan ，Kansas

中国艺术家艾未未的侧面像。

2.“Untitled”

Loren Erdrich

Johnson ，Vermont

在一段文字中，艺术家摒弃大量的文字，只留下简短、有韵律的几个单词。“Oh , oh , my only one ”似乎是hip-hop的表达形式，结合韵律、说唱、涂鸦；也令人浮想联翩，仿若云雨之后恋人之间的呻吟。

3.“Bean Series#3”

Brian R . Jobe

Knoxville , Tennessee

“豆子系列”这些豆子从罐子里跑出来呼吸；或是从烤箱里刚被取出来；豆子被吸管戳着，形成了另一种组合模式。谁知道呢，who cares ！让它们尽情地舞吧。

4.“and Balls”

Dryden Wells

Shanghai , China

你看到的是羽毛球是吧？羽毛球英语里又叫什么呢？“cock”！对了！那么“cock”在英语里又有什么意思呢？“鸡巴”！对了，这就是了。Cock and ball ！你懂了对吗？是的，just a joke ！该艺术家来景德镇学会的第一个中文就是“鸡巴”！当然，这也是同事跟他开的一个小小的玩笑。

5.“Never Sorry”

Ryder Richards

Plano , Texas

这个艺术家喜欢做和枪有关的艺术作品。作品中显然是有枪的影子的，直指鸟巢的那杆枪。画面左上角和左下角的枪杆子上的纹饰。当然在这件瓷板画中枪指鸟巢的寓意或许是关系着艾未未在奥运期间针对鸟巢设计的相关事件。

6.“Untitle”

Sue Anne Rische

Plano , Texas

唯美的青花骷颅头，用细长的指尖轻掂着自己的心。

7．“Tommy”

Sarah Haven

Seattle , Washington

艺术家将她设计的墙纸中的某一小细节放大，便是我们现在看到的这个磁带的图像。磁带是我们记忆中的美好事物。在现在ipad等其他电子产物产生后，一次性可以copy无数首歌。而以前我们会copy一首歌或录制一段话、一首歌到一盘磁带送给亲朋好友，以表达思念、热爱等之情。或许这就是艺术家心中对磁带所寄予的感情。而Tommy，或许就是某个时期送她这盘磁带的男朋友吧。

8.“Perro Loco Busca El Elixir De La Vida”

Jd Durham

San Marcos , Texas

这位艺术家嗜酒如命，啤酒对他而言就像药物一样维系着他的生命。“LONE STAR”便是日常生活中他常喝的一种啤酒。

9.“Cuttlefish”

Kale Roberts

Tampa , Florida

这是位女性行为艺术家，从小比较喜欢以男士的角度来看待这个世界，装束和思维都比较男性化。瓷板画的场景是她拍下来的男女云雨的瞬间。

10.“Untitle”

Piotr Chizinski

Ithaca,New York

人们有时会依照一种规律来推断一个人的好坏，有时会说“这人贼眉鼠眼的肯定不是好东西”等。那么这些人中按照既定的对五官长相的推断，就会直接出现一个疑似的三六九等之分。瓷板画中第一个人有五点疑似坏人的长相，第二人有七点疑似，第三人有4点疑似，第四人只有二点疑似。那么第二个人相对而言就是好人了。

11.“The Line Between Two Dots”

Jonathan Whitfill

Lubbock , Texas

两点之间的界限，可以是一个人，一场恋爱，一个故事，一场车祸，一辆卡车，也是瓷板画中毫无任何意义却又情绪化的无序组合的单词。

12.“Push”

Ian F . Thoms

Slioppey Rock , Pennsylvania

这位艺术家第一次来景德镇的时候，在邮局寄了封信回国，回去后他把这封信一直保存至今。

这次艺术家实验团体在景德镇办这个展览，需要每个艺术家寄一张图片，或许这个信封这就是他和景德镇的渊源所在。

藝術家宣言：

通過這個展覽，我們在從作品的理念到真實的作品被創作出來的過程中發現了不同文化之間有趣的差異和相似之處。

這個團隊裏的各種不同的個性和不同類型作品的創作組成了我們這個性格各異的特別團隊 – 文化實驗室(Culture Laboratory)。

我們在努力組成壹個整體，但是同時我們也希望能保留我們每個人獨特的聲音。我們堅信在保留我們的各自的個性特點以及作爲壹個有力的整體而存在之間找到平衡是使我們強大的重要原因之壹。

文 化實驗室委托的畫家小馬采用了青花的繪畫，壹種運用藍色和白色的繪畫方式。小馬曾與文化實驗室成員威龍(Dryden Wells) 密切合作，使得他能夠很好地抓住文化實驗室的12 名成員各自提供的圖像信息和內容的本質。這些作品都是在中國江西省的景德鎮制造的，景德鎮是中國陶瓷／瓷器藝術加工和生産最有名的城市。“青花”是陶瓷裝 飾風格的壹種，意思是“白色背景上的藍色釉料。” 首先在泥胎上繪畫並塗上各種不同濃度的沽類顔料。畫完了以後，在泥坯上噴上透明的釉。然後用1315攝氏度的高溫來燒制坯體，使得繪畫可以永久保留。

這 些工藝品都是由我們的創造團隊精心設計並委托中國方制作的，但是並非傳統的“中國制造”的東西。我們希望宣揚和贊美每壹個物體的獨特性，而在同時研究在用 不同的文化來诠釋的時候，失去了什麽又出現了什麽。通過我們生活和工作在景德鎮的工作者，我們能夠切實並真誠地溝通，産生獨特和形態各異的作品。

結合全世界各地的藝術家的靈感及每個藝術家對形象的不同的藝術見解來創造壹個藝術實體的過程是壹次令人十分興奮的試驗。同時，在這個磨合的過程中，這些藝術作品也被培育出了更多的多樣性和獨創性。

 ”Translation in Motion”

STATEMENT:

With this exhibition, we are interested in noticing differences and similarities in
separate cultures, from the idea of an object to its actual creation.

Our artistic group of Culture Laboratory are many different personalities bound
together by our personal differences, and the different type of work we
produce.

While even though we are striving to be a group, we want to all retain our
individual voices. We believe that what makes us strong, is the struggle to
retain our individuality as well as be strong as a group.

The “qing hua” painting, or blue & white painting process, was employed by the
painter commissioned by Culture Lab, Xiao Ma (small horse). Xiao Ma worked
closely with Culture Lab member Dryden Wells to capture the essence all the
images supplied by its 12 members. These works were made in Jingdezhen,
Jiang Xi province, China, the most famous city of Chinese ceramic / porcelain
art and production. The style of the ceramic decoration is called “Qing Hua”,
meaning, ‘blue paint on white background’. Qing Hua is one of the well-known
art styles of Jingdezhen porcelain. Cobalt, the mineral used to make the blue
color, is painted and applied on the raw ceramic ware in varying densities
of washes. Once the painting is finished, the tile is sprayed with a transparent
glaze. Finally, the tiles are red to approximately 1315 °C, making the image on
the tile permanent.

This show is a group of American Artists commissioning craft objects from
China, but not in what has become known in the USA as a “made in China”
object. We want to celebrate the uniqueness of individual one-of-a-kind objects,
while at the same time investigate what is gained or lost in translation between
cultures.

Through our Culture Lab liaison living and working in Jingdezhen, there was a
practical and sincere communication that resulted in unique and dynamic
products.

Using artists from across the globe to create an object from just an idea or
image is an exciting experiment and breed more diversity and originality into
the project.
