Claire Partington in Seattle Art Museum

DEC 7 2018 – DEC 6 2020
SEATTLE ART MUSEUM
Get a new perspective on SAM’s popular Porcelain Room through the site-specific work of contemporary British ceramic artist Claire Partington. Taking Tea features an installation referencing Baroque painting and European porcelain factories, as well as a panel mounted with fragments from 17th- and 18th-century shipwrecks. 

Her figures engaged in the act of “taking tea” give a human face to the European craze for Chinese porcelain on display in the Porcelain Room. Partington’s installation suggests the often unintentional consequences of the porcelain trade during the expansion of international shipping routes. The figures in the installation are steeped in the rarified luxury and high-end fashion these items once conveyed, but they also expose the degrading aspects of trade—the reality of precarious ocean voyages and human exploitation.

Dadara Public intervention

23 April 2020. "The Artist Is Not Present".
On an empty Museumplein Amsterdam in corona times artist Dadara shows a new 244 x 244 x 80 cm installation.

This intervention questions what happens when the artist is gone and leaves us with a purely material world. And now that all physical exhibition spaces are gone, artists should transform public space into exhibition space. #redreamyourcity

I love art dealers

I love art dealers. In some ways, they're my favorite people in the art world. I love that they put their money where their taste is, create their own aesthetic universes, support artists, employ people, and do all of this while letting us see art for free. Many are visionaries.

'Not My Cup of Tea'
Sarah Maple's new exhibition, "Not My Cup of Tea", explores one of the big stories of 2016 and 2017 - Brexit. Her photographs combine the rhetoric of the 'Leave' campaign, with recognisable images to represent the United Kingdom. She spoke to Dan Damon about the work, and the uncertainties and questions about identity raised by Brexit.
