The Ceramic Age:
for Alan Read/Lex-ICON
“In 2007 I heard Alan Read
deliver a paper that was later published in Performance Research as "The
Ceramic Age: Things Hidden Since the Foundation of Performance
Studies." This image responds, tying together of the hardness of a stage
floor, the shininess of the computer screen, the introduction of
semiotically meaningful ceramics in the 4th millennium BCE, and the
deceptively smooth surface of this image whose three-dimensional
counterpart is open-weave linen with matte cotton thread whose textured
effect comprises the majority of its charm.”--Maria Damon

Marvelous, Maria! Thank you. Sheila
RépondreSupprimerThank you so much, Sheila! xo
RépondreSupprimerA beautiful representation, the actual, the signified, and the remembered; the symbolized and the utilitarian. An act in tune with the culture of living, an object more than act, a ritualized object, a presentation of consciousness, a possibility to interact through sensations and the memory of sensations. The tactile as an always-possibility. Lovely!--Thank you--Bobbi
