Officine Saffi Award aims at presenting the best works by artists, makers, artisans and designers engaged in contemporary ceramic creation, working proactively to encourage the construction of new connections between artists, institutions and audiences, in a perspective of dialogue and intercultural exchange.
The Award’s mission is to stimulate the creation of meaningful links between subject areas, practices, geographical settings and generations in order to broaden and enrich the ceramics discourse by disseminating its knowledge. For the 5th edition applicants were invited to focus on the concepts intrinsic to “(un)Known Territories.”
The shortlisted works – including work by Cockpit maker Tessa Eastman and recent awardee Jihyun Kim – will be presented in a curated group exhibition that will open in Milan at Fondazione Officine Saffi’s new venue.
