“Heaven and Earth” - Claudi Casanovas from Spain and alev Ebüzziya Siesbye from Turkey, now resident of<br />
Paris, both world stars on the international ceramics stage, form a high quality, complementary, contrasting pair<br />
from 17 June until 2 September <strong>2012</strong> in the new exhibition at Galerie Marianne Heller in Heidelberg. Claudi Casanovas’<br />
(*1956) sculptures, some of which are distantly reminiscent of vessels, represent the essence of earthiness<br />
in their course roughness in multicoloured, heavily grogged clay: like weathered, fissured boulders, they seem to<br />
be more nature than human creation, and yet have a subtle composition – ceramic art brut, abstract mementi<br />
mori. The work of alev Ebüzziya Siesbye (*1938) on the other hand is now considered to be classic, severe,<br />
minimalist vessel art. Her bowls, on a tiny foot, rising in seeming weightlessness, open and in infinite variations<br />
– constructed with thin walls in the most delicate monochrome, preferably the blue of the sky and the sea, with<br />
meticulous decor, pursue the idea of the absolute vessel, evoking the presence of an ideal Mediterranean civilisation.<br />
an absolute must! Galerie Marianne Heller, Friedrich-Ebert-anlage 2, Im Stadtgarten, D-69117 Heidelberg,<br />

Marianne Eggimann in Frechen - Porcelain figurines – the immediate association is<br />
amorous Rococo scenes from the 18th century. Swiss artist Marianne Eggimann consciously<br />
plays with this preconception in her presentation of curiosities at KERaMION from 13<br />
May – 26 august <strong>2012</strong>. More than forty porcelain scenes spirit the visitor away to a world in<br />
miniature, full of hidden meanings and the depths of the human soul. Stiftung KERaMION.<br />
