kl. 20:00 – 21:00

OBS: Artist Talk’en vil foregå på engelsk

Neil Brownsword is an artist, educator and Professor of Ceramics at University of Staffordshire, and Honorary Professor at Jingdezhen Ceramic University. Brownsword’s work examines the histories of North Staffordshire’s ceramic industry, and the effects globalisation has had upon people, place and traditional skills in recent decades. With his artistic methodologies specific yet extremely varied, melding analysis and communication, empirical and experiential, Brownsword’s art speaks to humanity in skill, post-industrial entropy and social construction of values. His reactivation of post-industrial spaces and endangered industrial crafts has achieved impact internationally via cross-cultural exchange, and curated trans-disciplinary collaborative projects.

Brownsword work is represented in public collections internationally, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Korea Ceramic Foundation and Yingee Ceramic Museum Taiwan. He has received various accolades for his creativity and contribution to contemporary ceramic practice, including the inaugural British Ceramic Biennial Award (2009), the Grand Prize at the Gyeonggi International Ceramic Biennale (2015), South Korea, Whitegold International Ceramic Award (2019) and The European Ceramic Context prize for excellence (2024).
