This volume comprises a manifesto on contemporary ceramic production arising from a series of six talks on 20th-century ceramics given at Fondazione ICA Milano in 2022, which aimed to depict a panorama of the medium through the work of 23 artists.

In past years, Miquel Barcel¿ has been depicted in various and yet contrasting ways, including the new Picasso, the rebel, the genius, or the joker. This book¿s primary goal is to situate the artist within contemporary critical debate, discussing his production during the Postmodern Era and analysing his affinity with Hypermodernity. Through the comparison of Barcel?¿¿s writings, declarations, and works, the study examines the artist¿s autofiction, creating a connection between his hyperindividualism (which is discussed in relation to the Hypermodern Era) and the oceanic feeling. The book presents numerous unpublished materials, mostly contained in the artist¿s journals or gained during numerous meetings with the artist, providing the reader with a tool to understand Barcel¿¿s art, and also hopefully, the times we are living in.
