Cross Cultural Exchange:
ARTISTS’ RESIDENCY + INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
For the 2018 edition, we adopted an artist residency model for foreign artists making large scale/ site specific work. This enabled artists to engage with the site and understand the context of the Triennale, and make new work using local materials. ICT established partnerships with residency programs and studios across the country to facilitate the making of the work.
It was an opportunity for young artists and learners to apprentice with professional international artists.
Art Ichol In Maihar, Madhya Pradesh
Art Ichol, is a space where resident artists, craft enthusiasts and talented artisans can collaborate and realise their art projects. Satoru Hoshino (Japan) worked here on his Triennale project in January 2018. His travel and residency was partly supported by the Japan Foundation. Chloe Monks, a student from the Royal College of Art, London was an intern to Satoru Hoshino at Art Ichol.
“The triennale pulled together an ambitious collection of works, showing a huge range in approach to process and material. Being part of the final push towards a significant exhibition has infectious energy, and it was astonishing to see works of such a great scale appear overnight. We were left with no doubt that the inaugural Triennale has paved the way for an exciting future for contemporary ceramics in India and internationally”
Indian Institute Of Art And Design
In August, 2018 the Ceramic Department at IICD hosted Barney Hare Duke, Jo Ayre (United Kingdom) and Warli Artists Ramesh and Rasika Hengadi (India) to enable them to realise the British Ceramics Biennial project at Breaking Ground. Students from IICD interned with them. This project was partly supported by the British Council and is part of the Indian Ceramic Triennale and British Ceramics Biennial exchange.
