Blue Ceramics /2025

After too many years in front of the laptop, I had to get my hands drirty. Thanks to a voucher Muzsa gave me, I could take my first claywork lessons and I liked it a lot. The most notable works, among many funny and useful things (e.g. double-walled espresso cups), are the Embassy of the Republic to Užupis to Munich and my Boston Ceramics series.

 

Embassy of the Republic to Užupis to Munich

It all started with the stupid idea to make a small ceramic deskset for my ambassador jobs. It escalated quickly into a +20kg multipart installation, with led lights, passive speaker, a built-in coffee bar, a cherry brandy river that flows forward and backward and many other things to discover. Glazed stoneware. Exhibited at Galerie der Künstler 2024.

 

Boston Ceramics

Boston Ceramics examines the changing relationship between humans and animals in the course of the development of artificially intelligent robots. The work consists of two identical ceramic robot dogs that assume the pose and position of guard dogs. The work thus alludes to the increasing replacement of pets and farm animals by robots. At the same time, the work raises questions about the foundations of understanding and trust between natural and artificial agents. Glazed stoneware. Exhibited at Deutsches Museum 2025.
