Ceramic tiles in contemporary art have developed from traditionally handicraft to a crossover art field. Elements from different art traditions are reflecting different expressions. The ceramic tiles in this exhibition is performed in techniques developed from graphic etching, architecture, photo transmission, plaster made tiles, printing, sculpture, installation and image composition. Some of the same tendencies can be seen in both Turkey and Norway. The tiles are reflecting a multicultural society represented in different individual expressions in techniques, surfaces and art concepts.
