Interview: Object Factory at the Gardiner Museum

When I first entered art school, I was all about the image end of things: photography, film, you know the drill. Only as I went on did I gain appreciation for the ways ceramic artists can make statements by playing with entrenched patterns of decor and material culture. And that kind of statement is on view in spades right now at the Gardiner Museum's Object Factory show. They've even got some Cindy Sherman ceramics if you can believe it... (see above). Last week I had a chance to talk with Warsaw/NYC curator Marek Cecula about it all; read on here for the condensed version published today in the National Post.
