About Weekend Artist Talks
Join us at the BCB festival weekends to meet, ask questions and hear from many of the talented artists exhibiting with us this year. The artist talks will bring energy to the BCB festival weekends and share more in-depth and behind the scenes stories about how it’s been creating work over the past several months, their careers as artists, their greatest inspirations and the artwork they have created especially for BCB 2021. The talks are available to attend in-person or via private live stream.
When
Saturday 9th October
14:30-15:00 – Cleo Mussi, AWARD 2021 Exhibitor.
Artists Involved
Cleo Mussi
Cleo Mussi’s life size figures are ‘Quietly intense, strikingly thoughtful, urgent yet reserved, wrestling with the grand themes of human existence in an impressive gallery of evolution that is both an exquisite collection of intricate and vibrant characters as well as a thought-provoking commentary on our post-modern predicament.’ The mosaic narrative is reconstructed from traditional tableware, the inherent qualities forms, patterns and glazes, gleaned from the last two hundred years of British Ceramic Industry. Pieces from late C18th sit side by side with patterns from the 1960’s and into the C21st. In ‘Phylum, Phylon, Phyllon and Phyllosilicates’, Art meets Science exploring Taxonomy, Tribe, Leaf and Clay all served up with the Mussi trade mark humour and wry observation.
Where
This event is taking place in-person at BCB’s festival hub, The Goods Yards, and online via a private livestream.
