Thank you for listening to this track produced by the Art Gallery of South Australia.

Join Leigh Robb, Curator of Contemporary Art, in conversation with South Australian Living Artists (SALA) Festival feature artist Mark Valenzuela and Singapore-based ceramicist Alvin Tan.

With a career spanning two decades, Mark Valenzuela is an Adelaide-based artist who works between Australia and the Philippines. Although his practice wilfully resists categorisation, ceramics is an enduring medium for Valenzuela and has functioned as a linchpin to his many-parted installations that combine elements of painting, drawing, sculpture, video, assemblage and street art.

Alvin Tan is a Singapore-based ceramicist, President of Nanyang Clay Group, Singapore and part of the international Academy of Ceramics, Switzerland.
