Since 2003, the Artists in Residence project since has aimed to explore the relationship between ceramics and contemporary art, inviting internationally renowned artists who may not usually work with this material but who are attracted by its arcane and familiar charm.
With each different encounter that includes a curator, a ceramist, a group of students, and the city of Faenza, Artists in Residence becomes an experimental adventure, a creative process led by an artist unfamiliar with the rules of ceramics, and always resulting in unique and surprising outcomes from an artistic, technical and relational point of view.
The museum provides workshops, ceramic technicians, residences and staff, for the production of a series of works linking the surroundings with the artist’s vision. The works created are generally presented to the public in unexpected places around the region to then become a means of disseminating the work of the Museum and of Faenza itself throughout the world of contemporary art, with the exception of works selected for entry into the permanent collection.
The experience is always fostered in an instructional setting and inseparable from the presence of students who experience first-hand the adventure of creating a piece of work alongside an artist and master potter. For three years it has been running in parallel with the Course for Curators, a completely free-of-charge in-field training course offered by MCZ for selected students of the Academies of Fine Arts of Bologna and Ravenna.
