Business, Cleverly Disguised as Pleasure

tripelgänger is ceramics in three versions after architectural thumbnail sketches by François Blanciak. A parallel is drawn from Blanciak’s book, Siteless, as ceramics flows through contexts of painting, sculpture, & architecture. Shadowing shows ceramics’ ambivalent relationship with these three, oscillating between distinction & indeterminacy. Meanwhile ceramics’ durability in material & history provides the necessary friction.
