Ceramic as Souvenir by Rebecca Harvey
You must remember that a kiss is still a kiss a sigh is just a sigh1 - but there is something about a souvenir
Welcome to Ceramic as Souvenir - NCECA 2007 - Louisville KentuckySouvenir from the French for memory denotes an object that holds or contains an idea of a time or place that exists outside of itself. This talk will consider the nature of an object as souvenir, look at the distinctions and overlaps that can exist between relic, souvenir, commemorative, and kitsch and show some of the many ways that ceramics has been used historically as a marker of time or events. Focusing primarily on the rich vein of souvenir paraphernalia of the 1800 and 1900’s I hope to bring to light an area of ceramics that is often overlooked or disregarded. The talk will also examine some of the ways that ceramic artists are using both historical images of souvenirs and ideas about the nature of souvenir in contemporary work.
