Abstract

This article takes as its starting point speculative points of connection between the ceramic work of Takuro Kuwata and Aneta Regel, and selected writings by French philosopher Catherine Malabou on the notion of “destructive plasticity.” Staging an experimental and unpredictable combination of sources, the text incorporates a variety of images concerning chance and repetition, form and matter, fluidity and fixity. It echoes Kuwata’s method of hybridizing and exaggerating traditional and experimental techniques – for example, colliding the oversaturated image of contemporary Japan with the austere structures of the tea ceremony – in order to explore contingent relationships between them.

摘要

本文以桑田卓郎和阿内塔·雷格尔的陶瓷作品之间的联系为出发点，以及法国哲学家凯瑟琳·马拉布关于“破坏性可塑性”概念的著作选集。文本以实验性和不可预测的来源组合，结合了各种关于机会和重复、形式和物质、流动性和固定性的图像。它呼应了桑田混合和夸大传统和实验技术的方法——例如，将当代日本过度饱和的形象与茶道的简朴结构相碰撞——以探索它们之间的偶然关系。
