The visual artist Coline Gaulot exhibits for the first time at the museum of earthenware and tableware Samadet his work «The Great Fire (Happy A)». This installation of 26 porcelain cakes questions the memories of childhood and the passing of time.
It is from family photographs that Coline Gaulot has recreated birthday cakes that have embodied, year after year, moments of celebration and intimate history (like double cakes at the separation of his parents). The white of porcelain materializes the erasure of colors by the inexorable march of time. The work, lent by the Fonds régional d'art contemporain Nouvelle-Aquitaine MÉCA, refers the viewer to his personal story.
Two events complete the exhibition (visible until 29 October):

• Saturday April 22 at 3pm: “When do we eat?” which is a workshop, for children with Coline Gaulot, of discovery and initiation to porcelain.
• Sunday 23 April at 3pm: «Throwing yourself into the Great Fire» which is a workshop for adults, with Coline Gaulot, to discover and experiment the process of making porcelain.
