technical tuesday: Smogware by Iris de Kievith and Annemarie Piscaer
“Smogware is a publicly engaging project to provoke debate and behaviour change towards improved air quality. Harvesting smog dust is used to stain ceramic glazes, the particulate matter makes visible and even tangible the poor air quality that surrounds us. Smogware has collaborated with researchers and ceramic makers from the Netherlands, to global cities from Milan, Berlin, to Beijing and London. Smogware aims to empower citizens how to harvest their local dust and use it to investigate the colour of a local smog-glaze and air quality.”- via smogware.org
monday morning eye candy: Roberta Massuch
Getting back to collecting images for #mondaymorningeyecandy is likely my favorite part of this blog, no lie. It’s basically as though I were creating the largest, dreamiest exhibition of ceramic ever, and considering who and why to include work. Coming back to the blog after so many years I wasn’t sure where to begin. So I did a random thing. I picked a time in the archives and opened the links and the first random monday morning eye candy I found was this one about the artist Roberta Massuch.
I was thinking it’s be fun to do a sort of then and now post. Anyone from past monday morning eye candy posts you’d like to see again? Were you an artist that was previous featured? Drop me a line. Till then enjoy these pieces by Roberta.
