Copenhagen
Ceramics wishes all our ceramics-loving friends a very Happy New Year 2016.
It is now well a year ago since we closed the gallery at Frederiksberg
in Copenhagen
and decided to take a break and later continue with new initiatives
within our field.
And so we did. First the pause, that maybe became a bit longer than
anticipated, and then we began working to produce a book on the three years of
Copenhagen Ceramics in Smallegade. We managed to raise the money for the
production, which is now on its way. It will present all the 27 exhibitions in
text and images and have contextualizing articles by American critic and writer,
Garth Clark, and Swedish art historian, Love Jönsson. We plan to launch the
book in April 2016.
The book launch will happen in Milan on 13 April 2016 during the Design
Week in conjunction with a new CC initiative - the opening of a large exhibition
in the Salvatore Lanteri Gallery. We have been extremely fortunate to have a
beautiful, newly renovated 200 sq meter space put to our disposal during the
Design Week and the two following weeks. In collaboration with Salvo Lanteri we
plan a significant show of selected works by a group of Danish ceramicists. We
visited the gallery in December last year and were thrilled by the sight of the
space. The exhibiting artists are: Morten Løbner Espersen, Kristine Tillge
Lund, Marianne Nielsen, Anders Ruhwald, Bente Skjøttgaard, Steen Ipsen and
Martin Bodilsen Kaldahl.
The coming couple of months will be busy organizing the exhibition, not
least with securing maximum press coverage – as everyone knows there is quite a
fight for attention going on during the Design Week. We look forward a lot to
the project and hope we might tempt some of you to come to Milan for the
opening and to experience some of the many other events going on there during
this special week.

So, even if we have been fairly quiet over the past year we are still
there and dream of new projects. Obviously, this will be with larger intervals,
but we promise that you will hear more from us.
Again, many thanks for your support and interest. Our website is still
fully accessible with all the exhibitions from 2012 - 2014. We update the blog at intervals and
new sign-ups for the mail list can be made at the site under contact.
All best
wishes
