Det Hvide Guld(The white Gold): poster/bag
The White Gold
For a few months around new year 2003, a group of
students from the Royal Academy of Art in Copenhagen and their teachers
Karen Harsbo from the ceramics workshop, and Pontus Kjerrman from
the plaster workshop, tried their hands at porcelain production
in the workshops at Royal Copenhagen. The result is being exhibited
at Royal Copenhagen, and then will tour to Marienlyst Castle and
the Vejen Museum of Art. Photo: Torben Zenth.

Lisbeth Bank: Royal celleforandring
(Royal Cell Manipulation)
Whole project: 2.5 m tall, 1.5 m wide and 1.5 m deep.
 
Thomas Bjørkå: Kulturstøtten
(Culture Funding)
“In these times of culture cutbacks, a good knife can be handy,
or a solid hammer, when applying for funds.”
 
Karen Harsbo: No title, 20x22
cm.
 
Sofie Hesselholdt & Vibeke Mejlvang:
Helle har fået nok (Helle has had enough) (2003), height
50 cm. and Hætteklædt borgmester (Mayor with Hat)
(2003), height 45 cm.
The glazing technique used here, which is also used on Flora Danica,
gives these two figures their refined and colourful expression.
The Mayor and Helle are intended to be seen together, in dialogue,
but can also be presented as independent sculptures.
 
Sophus Ejler Jepsen: Porcelæske(Porcelain
Box)
Painted, molded and packed in one and the same box!
Before the box is folded together, it’s decorated on the inside
with glaze. After that, the box is filled with liquid clay and fired.
What’s left is the fingerprint in porcelain, which is then
packed in a box identical to the one that started the process.
 
Lene Barnkob Kaas: No title
Variable size. Element 1: ca. 42x15x15cm. Element 2: ca. 42x20x20
cm. Sculpture with a functional variant. The two pieces can be used
to create a single, larger object. The simplicity of the piece informs
its multifaceted nature.
 
Pontus Kjerrman: Figurer (Figures)
Cat, height: 38 cm, horse, height: 27 cm and tea cups, height: 10cm,
all in porcelain.
All figures, with the exception of one of the horses were fired
with underglazing; the tea cups with stoneware-like glazing were
fired at porcelain temperature.
 
Esben Klemann
Figures molded in polystyrene, form removed/burned away, 20x70x40
cm.
 
Karin Lorentzen: Rør (Tubes)
Height ca. 15-30 cm, bisquit.
The forms were created by filling oblong balloons with plaster,
and before the plaster could harden, molding concave forms in them
by hand. The tubes, vases, are exhibited standing, hanging or on
their side. Total 20-30 pieces.
 
Katrine Naumann: Bootleg
Cast of leather boots, blue fluted china, underglazing. Height:
35cm.
 
 
Fie Norsker: Træstub og spøgelse (Tree Stump
and Ghost)
Tree Stump, height: 20 cm. Ghost, height: 23 cm. Cast porcelain
with underglazing.
 
Nina Radelfahr:
Vinger (Wings)
Installation of shoulder blades in bisquit porcelain, cast in forms
shaped as human shoulder blades.
 
 
Annesofie Sandal: Nisser (Gnomes)
Garden Gnome, height: 31cm. Dildo, height: 16.5cm. Cast porcelain,
blue fluted china, underglazing.
 
Troels Sandegård: Hønse-tre-i-enighed
(Hen Trinity)

Jon Stahn: Kranier, Røvhuller
(Craniums, Ass Holes)
Craniums 19x36x21 cm. Cast porcelain, blue fluted china, underglazing.
Blue fluted china craniums, yes, why? Because even though you sit
in your comfy living room eating your good soup out of your blue
fluted china soup bowls, death is always near.
 
 
Tina Uhrskov: Stel (Service)
Cup, height: 8 cm. Bowl, height 6.5 cm. Cast porcelain with transparent
glaze.
A set produced to reflect the meeting of hand and mouth. A cup as
a kiss, a bowl as a handshake. The cup reaches out to the drinking
mouth and kisses it, its form a caress.
