Theme : Studio exhibition for 100 years anniversary
Jana Jaroszová created an extensive installation composed of numerous mass-produced cups among which, for contrast, are placed original cups designed by the alumni of the Ceramic and Porcelain Studio (Jiri Hlusicka, Antonin Tomasek, Maxim Velcovsky, Gabriel Vach, Vaclav Serak, Ales Werner, Martina Hudeckova, Pavel Knapek et al.). Jaroszová contemplates the question as to why the majority of people try to follow suit in creating uniform and common households and why so little people purchase things that are different. On the opposite side stand artistic and academic Studios where emphasis is placed
on functionality and aesthetics, but also on innovative and original solutions. Jaroszová thus opens
the essential questions of mass and unified production and its economic aspects on one hand
and, on the other hand, innovative and costly solutions, which however face lack of interest on the part
of the majority.
