Valuables

August 4 to September 1 2008

A random selection of people was asked to exhibit the ceramic items they consider most valuable in their home. The definition of value, be it sentimental, material, functional or aesthetic, was entirely left to the interpretation of each individual.

The result is a fascinating collection of objects made from clay, which provides an historic snapshot of ceramics in Melbourne homes and an interesting and revealing look at the importance of ceramics in our daily lives.

Accompanying the exhibition is a recording of personal accounts from the owners of the ceramic objects on display.

First Show

May 30 to June 26 2008

Opening words from Chris Sanders

Sixteen Victorian artists present new works in ceramics at the launch of Pan Gallery.

The participating artists in 001First Show come from a range of creative backgrounds, are at different points in their careers and undertake their craft practice with variety of structure. They are united in being current practitioners of ceramic art with a passion for their craft.

In this first showing of new works by established artists the door is opened to discussing 'contemporary' ceramic works. Are the works contemporary purely because they have been made in the present day or do they strive to resolve or encapsulate modern conceptual and technical ideas? How important is this to the experience of beholding the work?

001First Show launches pan Gallery and aims to characterize the ethos of the gallery - offering a forum for the presentation of innovative art works and encouraging an exchange of ideas between artists and audience.
