VESSELS

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The international artist group VESSELS unites over 30 contemporary artist positions of international vascular art and free art from the fields of ceramics, glass, wood, metal, silver, urushi, textiles and paper. The multiple award-winning works of the artists deliberately explore the limits of artistic vessel art and thus build a bridge to free art.

Foundation and initiative

"VESSELS" was founded in July 2004 by the initiators Henriette and Martin Tomasi and today comprises over 35 contemporary artists from Belgium, Italy, Austria, Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany. The English word VESSELS (Eng. "Vessel") became a short but internationally concise title. Since its foundation, VESSELS has made it its business to promote contemporary vascular art and vascular artists of free art. The emphasis is on the term art. Through the active and communicative work of the group, the interests of the artists should be bundled, successes made tangible and attention drawn to the exciting field of vascular art.
The first external organ was the artist group's homepage, which was put on the Internet on July 25, 2004. At the beginning it presented only four artists, today the homepage includes portraits of all artists and a lot of current information. Today the group takes part in top-class art fairs and exhibitions in museums and galleries every year.

Location

The artist group is based in the small town of Kronberg im Taunus , which as the seat of the former European artist group " Kronberger Malerkolonie " can look back on a long cultural history.

program


Vessel art - expanded term vessel "Vessel art" describes the intensive artistic and creative examination of the vessel, container, body and spatial shape in the broadest sense. The emphasis on the artistic is done consciously. The word contemporary vessel art does not designate the purely technical and formal craftsmanship with which a vessel is made, it also does not describe the pure production of equipment, vases and jugs, which only focus on practicality and functionality and see as the origin of their design. Contemporary vessel art describes plastic works that deal with the hollow body, the container, with the separation of interior and exterior space by means of a shell, border through independent design, high-quality application of aesthetic and artistic principles on an artistic and creative level. The aim is to take an independent position through expression, overall image, soul, artistic content - which comments and communicates with the viewer in its own way. From the artist's point of view, this includes - essentially - the conscious or unconscious substantive examination of topics and situations that usually go far beyond technology, form and function.
