To mark its opening the Centre offers until 12 September the exhibition “On Fire. Fire Arts and Symbols”. It will highlight the idea that the ceramic is certainly an art of fire but besides that, it is also a pervasive element in our daily lives and our collective imagination. Indeed, visitors will see that the fire is evoked through examples from the cinema, literature and photography before unveiling works of today’s artists.
