Julian Stair
As part of Go for Kogei Talks, we are pleased to announce a talk event with Julian Stair, one of the UK’s leading potters and historians. There is no charge to attend this event, but a donation box will be placed at the venue, and the money will be donated to the "Noto Culture Reconstruction Fund" established by NPO Shuto Kanazawa.
We are pleased to invite Julian Stair, one of the UK's leading potters, to give a talk titled “Material, Agency and Embodiment: Pottery in the 21st Century”. He will argue that the multi-modality of ceramics, and pottery in particular, operates as a significant artistic genre within the theoretical framework and praxis of contemporary art. In actively shaping life through rituals that embody narratives from the quotidian to the profound, from ‘breaking bread’ with family to mediating death, pottery offers an opportunity for a philosophical re-evaluation of how institutions validate and markets consume art. In an increasingly atomised metaverse, the materiality, agency and social locus of pottery remind us what it means to be human. (Moderator: Dr. Yuko Kikuchi, Head of Academic Programmes, Victoria and Albert Museum)
