Off-center / Vernissage

The Off-center exhibition is the result of the 29th symposium, the topic of which is ceramics as a material for contemporary art. The idea of supporting and promoting fine art in ceramics has been central to this international meeting in Bechyně since it was established in the 1960s. This symposium continues this tradition and also presents current creative approaches, derived from the internal logics of the material, reflecting its cultural historical contexts and not shying away from criticism of its own medium, through the work of six artists. This exhibition therefore not only transcends the established boundaries of this field, but is also an example of the opportunities that ceramics offer within contemporary art.
