Juncture - Solo exhibition of works that examines the juncture between making and meaning through practice. The exhibition consists of seven large works that examines ceramics in both social contexts and the arena in which it operates. Media: Ceramic, glass, photography

Juncture continues Livingstone’s research into conceptual approaches to ceramics and how it can operate within contemporary conceptual art practice, through the making of five separate artworks: ‘Disruption: Rose Tinted’ an installation of 9 plates that depict a visual metamorphosis of rural scene to urban landscape; ‘The English Scene’ bone china and ceramic readymade components that project political commentary; ‘P.A.S.B.O’ A2 dibond mounted photographs that transpose ceramic to an alternate platform for interpretation; ‘10% Spillage’ ceramic readymade and mixed media that proposes a commentary on the demise of the ceramics industry; and ‘Creamer Divided’ antique ceramic readymade and glass, a provocative work that aims to interrogate crafts conceptual understanding.

The works were exhibited alongside works by 15 leading international artists including Ai Weiwei, Richard Deacon, Otto Peine and Thomas Schutte in the group exhibition ‘Mit Feuer und Flamme – Ceramics in Contemporary Art’, Museum Villa-Rot, Germany (2 October 2011 - 5 February 2012).
