The exhibition is not only a departure from the established boundaries of the field, but also a demonstration of the possibilities that ceramics offer within contemporary art. The fact that it is ceramic clay, in various forms and shapes, that fills the gallery spaces is not a surprising result of a symposium focused on this material. However, ceramics is not the only means of expression that the exhibiting artists work with in their creations, which is also reflected in their latest works created during their four-week stay in Bechyně.
The long life of industrial products, their slow decomposition and their subsequent journey into the earth - with all this, the artist gives nature and geological time a far more optimistic perspective than we as humans can attribute to ourselves. We now know that the garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean has exceeded the size of Texas and is approaching the size of all of North America.
