Examines how ceramic artists have, over the last decade, begun to animate museum collections in new ways, and reflects on the impact that these new initiatives have had in the broad context of visual culture. 'This volume exemplifies cutting-edge thinking about ceramics, and benefits from the strong research culture in British crafts more generally. Editors Brown, Twomey and Stair skillfully work from their basis in practice to propose important new ideas about this dynamic artistic field.' Glenn Adamson, Museum of Arts and Design, New York, USA "Contemporary Clay and Museum Culture is the first book of its kind to provide a critical overview of the relationship between contemporary ceramics and curatorial practice in museum culture" - Ceramic Review, 2017
