Ceramics Space

The Ceramics Space is a two-part gallery that can be visited free of charge, even outside exhibition opening hours. It is not a storage area, nor is it an exhibition furnished with detailed explanations. Think of the two parts of the gallery as the two hemispheres of the human brain. The left hemisphere is in charge of logical thought, rational perception, and language use, while the right side is responsible for visuality, creativity, and imagination. The Ceramics Space takes this duality as the model for museum collecting and conceptualisation. In the area corresponding to the left hemisphere, ceramics of the world are grouped logically, according to geographical area, ceramics centre, and shape, while the right hemisphere area offers an intuitive response to the myriad worlds of ceramics and explores their interconnections.
