摘要

Carouge, as those who have visited will know, has a long association with ceramics, with the first earthenware factory in the location having been established there in 1803. Although now a suburb of Geneva, it retains a village ambience, with most of the biennial's twenty five venues located within easy walking distance. Held over two weekends and the intervening week, the majority of the participating ceramic artists exhibited their works in solo shows at private galleries, although there were also several group exhibitions in public spaces. These spaces included the Foundation Bruckner, which was responsible for organising the biennial. Other attractions for ceramists and collectors included lectures, demonstrations, firings, workshops and film screenings.
