Radical textiles and experimental idiocy
A time-travelling, multi-regional journey through the histories of ceramics that explores how contemporary artists are politicising this elemental medium. Nell has said that “all my life is a practice", but what does that mean for the work she creates? And how has her latest piece, a quilt featuring work by 400 people, changed her perspective on collaboration? Glenn Barkley looks back at the many histories of ceramics, shares his favourite skewer, and discusses the impact of the “Anglosphere mind virus.”
