Dober Dan Keramika!
Slovenia 2018
EXHIBITION: FROM TRADITIONAL TO CONTEMPORARY CERAMICS
THE STORY ABOUT FERMENTATION LOCK
Exhibition is one of the accompanying events of the IV. International Ceramics Triennial UNICUM 2018.
The association Majolika in collaboration with Slovenska Bistrica Culture Institute organises the accompanying event of UNICUM Triennial for the fourth time. The principal theme of the exhibition is tradition as a challenge to contemporary fine art expression. This year the theme of the exhibition is fermentation lock.
Ceramic fermentation locks are a forgotten product of pottery tradition although they are still an indispensable part of the equipment of any winemaker. And what does tradition say? When the cellar through the fermentation locks “sang”, the must began to ferment, change into wine and when the cellar “sinks in silence” St. Martin celebrates new wine.
The presented works and awards were selected by the professional jury.
