Spun Out: Fourteen Ceramic Positions from Chiemgau – a Day for Intensive Art Examination
On Saturday, April 18, 2026, the Old Watch in the Traunstein Town Hall will transform into a resonance space for contemporary ceramics. Under the guiding theme Spun Out, 14 ceramic artists will showcase handcrafted unique pieces and fine small series – a concentrated art experience between applied art and artistic ceramics.
Form from Movement: The Poetics of the Pottery Wheel
The focus is on the aesthetic experience of spinning: delicate cylinders, widely stretched bowls, dynamically inclined vases. Proportion, wall thickness, and edge treatment become precise parameters from which the mastery of the craft processes can be read. The exhibition atmosphere invites one to calmly grasp colors, surfaces, and volumes.
Between Matt and Gloss: Glazes as Image Space
Engobes, transparent glazes, and reductive firing images open a spectrum from velvety matt to deep gloss. Light binds to microscopic reliefs, lines trace the bodies, and small irregularities reveal the hand of the material – ceramics as a vibrant art direction.
Curated Diversity: Chiemgau Workshops in Dialogue
The assembly brings together different positions from the region: functional vessels, sculptural individual pieces, finely painted series. In the curatorial dialogue, a view of the works emerges that intertwines material poetry, form finding, and the cultural history of ceramics.
Concentrated Visiting Time: A Day Worthwhile
Opening hours from 11 AM to 6 PM favor slow looking: viewing habits sharpen, details become visible, conversations with artists deepen the art historical context. A day for all who want to experience ceramics as contemporary art and as a cultivated culture of use.
Conclusion
Spun Out promises a dense look at form finding, material language, and careful curation. Those who want to experience the quality of Chiemgau ceramics in the original should not miss this exhibition day – for inspiring dialogues and a sustainable aesthetic experience.
