Filed under: Art contemporain, Design, Graphisme, Peinture - Illustration | Tags: |

Ceramic multiples and posters, graphic digital images and books, to name just a few examples, straddle the lines between art, craft, and mass production, exploring each format’s potential for participation and dissemination, aesthetic, social, and technical labor.
Selection of artists and websites: Andrée-Anne Dupuis-Bourret, Leslie Mutchler, Carl Pope, Bill Rankin and Francesc Ruiz.

C’est sous les ailes de la Needcompany, basée à Bruxelles (photo: The Porcelain Project) que Grace Ellen Barkey produit depuis 1992 ses propres spectacles, qui se situent à l’intersection du théâtre, de la danse, de la performance et de l’art plastique. Ce mélange explosif, au sein duquel le rôle de la plasticienne Lott Lemm est essentiel, se retrouve dans Cette porte est trop petite (pour un ours) actuellement en tournée européenne.
