ON THE BACK, hidden signs of the object.
Imagine a show devoted solely to the underbelly of historical pots…Oribe, Tang, Royal Copenhagen and many many more. The MAK museum in Vienna revealed the hidden aesthetics of the reverse side, which often tells a lot more about objects and their history than the so-called “right side”. This was a truely profound experience, and such a treat to have stumbled upon. The only bummer was that there was no photography allowed. So close your eyes and imagine a room where 80-90 pots lay upside down and sideways, exposed and virtually suspended bearing their most deep dark dirty secrets.
