Manfred Pernice's installation depicts a visual representation of different world views and ideologies. What stood out to me most is the unconventional manor that he used to display a large collect of ceramic pieces. He displayed many different pieces, none of which seem to be cohesive with each other, all very clumped together. I felt this related back to Veronica Forlik's essay "Ceramics and Painting: and Expanded Feudal of Inquiry" as the installation shows an example of how to bring the media of ceramics into the contemporary world, which can be difficult as ceramics has been frequently pre-determined to be a mainly functional media. In Forlik's essay she writes, “Just as a fresco painting is inextricably linked to our experience of the architecture it inhabits, so too does painting play an important role in defining these works.” I felt that the variety of formal and surface work on these pieces was reassuring to Forlik's writing.
