Dysfunction
http://www.burlingtoncityarts.org/Exhibition/dysfunction
Clay objects are often associated with particular utilitarian and domestic purposes. The long lasting association of ceramics with functionality engrains a tension
between craft and fine art. Dysfunction challenges this tension by asserting that
functionality may depend upon context rather than an absolute and fixed purpose.
Beginning with the exhibition’s title, a playful pun, Dysfunction presents artwork
varying from beautiful and precious to surreal and grotesque in an effort to initiate
a dialogue about our own assumptions concerning ceramics.
The crux of Dysfunction lies in the human tendency to categorize, organize, and
separate. Often, the language we use to understand and assess our experiences,
emotions, and objects narrow our ability to imagine larger possibilities for what
something (or someone) can be. Together, these ten artists represent a microcosm
of a larger artistic zeitgeist focused on questioning the social, political, and
economic forces that determine “proper function.”
