“Cosmos artist”: overview of Russian events porcelain symposium

Abstract

The art of porcelain in Russia has deep historical roots and the highest achievements, comparable to the glory of Russian ballet and painting on the world stage. Porcelain production was distributed throughout Russia, including vast territories of Siberia: Khaitinsky, Prokopyevsky, Zelenogorsky porcelain plants. In the 1990s, all the rich potential was destroyed. As a result, porcelain production disappears in Siberia. Educational institutions of the region focused on the graduation of specialists of this profile, unfortunately, did not have a production base for the consolidation of professional skills. Trying to solve this problem, since 2011, ceramic symposia have been held annually on the basis of the Department of Art Ceramics of the GII named after D. Hvorostovsky. Every year, the number of participants increases, students and teachers of the DHSH and DSHI, students of art areas of the Military District and the Law School of the East Siberian Region are involved in the educational and creative orbit, which contributes to the development of creative industries in Yenisei Siberia. The focus of the proposed article is the All-Russian Ceramic Symposium “Cosmos of the Artist”-2021, which gained state support this year thanks to the victory in the competition of projects of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives. The work provides an overview of the set of events of the symposium, implemented from October 14 to 28, 2021.
