„Dutch“ or „liquid courage“ describes the procedure usually executed at pubs and sometimes art show openings as well, to lower one's inhibition to come into contact with others and gain bravado from drinking. The project's concept is not so much about the intoxicating part, but the employment of the ritual of drinking together as a platform for communication. With the invitation to the project, the curators challenged the artists with a lump of clay as a traditional but sometimes forgotten artistic material and the request to model something that can hold liquids. In reference to the traditional German container for beer drinking, the „Bierkrug“, these original and unique sculptures can be purchased for a small fee at the “Dutch Courage” Bar in order to get your free refill.

This exhibition was inspired by a remarkable surge of interest in ceramics amongst our MFA community over the past couple of years. Students who entered the program as painters, sculptors, and printmakers began exploring the potential of ceramics within their practice. All the artists in this exhibition have studied with JJ PEET, who has been working with the MFA community since 2009. JJ brought ceramics back to the attention of our students. He has helped lead an upgrade of our ceramics facilities, offered workshops and now teaches a class in Contemporary Ceramics.
