Lia Bagrationi
Tuesday, 27 Mar 2007 at 7:30 pm – Kocimski Auditorium, College of Design
Lia Bagrationi is a ceramicist and will be speaking about her ceramic sculpture and on the Republic of Georgia where she lives and works. Bagrationi graduated from the State Academy of Fine Arts in Tbilisi, Georgia. She has held artist residencies at the International Ceramic Research Center, Denmark, in 2006; AIR Vallauris, France, in 2005; and Lakeside Studio, Lakeside, Michigan, in 2001. In 2000 she was awarded the Grand Prix at the First Symposium of Georgian Ceramists. Bagrationi's works have been included in many local and international exhibitions since 1980 and are on public display in the Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi and the History Museum in Carvasla. Her work deals with myth and cultural attitudes toward money and wealth.Cosponsored By:
