Tony C. often posts that a juried exhibition is a great critique. However, the jury
is not always looking at your pot in the way that it was meant to be displayed.
I have on several occasions seen potters re-arranging their own work in a gallery
after it was already juried with an incorrect setup.
On that note, I found the following article quite humourous:
David Hensel was told that his laughing-head sculpture had been juried into
the Royal Academy of Arts' summer exhibition. Unfortunately, when he
attended the exhibition, he found out that it was only the support for the
sculpture that the academy had accepted into the exhibition.

Hiya Brenda and whoever reading this;
Now we always going to ask ourselves, is this the
finish work, or is this just the plinth? I also find
it humourous when people wanting to critique others
work online; a 2D representation of a 3D object!
I read the article of the missing head yesterday in
the Guardian*. I went to the Summer Exhibition 2006
today and I saw the sculpture and I completely forgot
about the back story. The show was fantastic though.
'Everything feeds off everything else; everything is
as good as the company it keeps.' (Ken Howard RA)
Grayson Perry has a pot there and there were a few
ceramic pieces and they are reasonably priced and they
are all sold.
I was very pleased to see Patrick Caulfields' works in
a room by themselves. I like his painting of pots over
Morandis'. Sadly he past away last year.
I have signed up a special event at the RA called the
Perception of Touch. We are to engage with sculptures
from the Summer Exhibition solely through the sense
of touch. Only £6 including drinks. Should be fun.
Regards
