Printing has become a common part of the ceramic artist's practice and today there are more possibilities than ever before. From low-tech mono-prints to digital laser decal, it is now possible to employ a range of techniques to print on clay and vitreous surfaces. With the ongoing advancement of new technologies and more developed studio-based transfer processes artists continue to push the boundaries of the medium. In this comprehensive update of his popular Ceramics Handbook title, Paul Scott explains the historical context for contemporary printed ceramics before explaining the principles of core techniques and their application in the studio. He explores photographic processes, as well as the new opportunities presented by digital technology, including digital and 3D printing. Illustrated with brand new images of beautiful works by leading artists working in printed ceramics, Ceramics and Print is a must-read guide for artists and makers interested in this ever-developing field.
Clay body additions can introduce remarkable new forms and textures in ceramic work. With an emphasis on creativity and experimentation, ceramicist Kathleen Standen reveals a range of possible effects, and profiles the extraordinary work of contemporary makers using additions in their practice.

The book is lavishly illustrated throughout with both unique making methods and the beautiful finished works of ceramic artists from around the world. Additions to Clay Bodies is an inspiring introduction to the art of using additions and an essential companion for any artist wishing to expand their practice.

French artist and filmmaker Philippe Parreno is known to have radically redefined the exhibition experience by exploring its possibilities as a coherent object rather than a collection of individual works. In the scripted spaces of his shows, a series of events unfolds, with orchestrated sound and image heightening the sensory experience. This book is published on the occasion of CAC Malagas showing of TV Channel, an installation comprising the projection of seven short films that summarise Parrenos career, from its start in the mid-1980s to his most recent works. Besides numerous installation views, it includes an close reading of the experience by Cyril Beghin.
Casa Asia presenta la primera exposición de Chiharu Shiota (Osaka, 1972) en Barcelona, con una propuesta consistente en varias instalaciones, dibujos y videos, que se integran en un único proyecto desplegado en su sede.Las instalaciones de Shiota producen espacios propios, donde se hacen visibles centenares de hilos invisibles que nos unen a las cosas. En estos escenarios domesticos que propone, los hilos se convierten a su vez en puentes entre un vestido de novia y el sujeto ausente, un piano, maletas y un espejo. En su obra, estos hilos son venas por las que circulan lagrimas, el miedo al abismo, la vida y la muerte; hilos conductores de relatos particulares y universales, entremezclandose como las raices invertidas de un arbol, al igual que un rizoma a traves de multiples ramificaciones que entorpecen la relacion entre yo y el mundo. Los hilos transportan la informacion y son esenciales en toda comunicacion, pero a su vez forman redes o alambradas que obstaculizan el paso a los extraños en especies de espacios donde la vida cotidiana entra en conflicto con la produccion deseante.
