A MODEL FOR THE INTERPRETATION OF THE CERAMIC OBJECT LOCATED IN THE MUSEUM DEVELOPED THROUGH POST- DISCIPLINARY, POST-STUDIO PRACTICE DAVID CUSHWAY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Sunderland for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Arts, Design and Media, University of Sunderland October 2015 1 David Cushway: Abstract This research is initiated through an examination and mapping of the contemporary ceramics discourse within the United Kingdom and is situated from 1994 until the completion of my PhD study in 2014. This analysis of the practical and theoretical fields of ceramics practice provides a framework within which my own education and development as a practising artist can be measured and authenticated whilst providing a critical overview of the changing critical landscape of ceramics discourse over the last twenty years. Ceramics as an expanded field is evidenced through case studies of artist peers; and interviews with key critics, writers and curators. It introduces the positions of the post-studio and post-disciplinary practitioner as paradigms of practice that acknowledge an artists’ capacity to operate within the field of ceramics, utilising a multitude of approaches, media and mediums. The practical element of the research is developed outside of the studio within the context of the museum and its collection.

Galvin K Nelson Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics Oregon State University 13 November 2008 Mark R. Galvin/K Nelson LATEX and Beamer What’s This All About? Objective is to answer the following questions: What is Free/Open Source Software? What the heck are TEX and LATEX? Who uses LATEX? Why would I use LATEX? Why wouldn’t I use LATEX? How do I get LATEX? How do I use LATEX? A Note on Beamer: Beamer is one of several available presentation making packages that use the LATEX markup format and the TEX engine to produce beautiful presentations (like this one) in PDF format. Beamer won’t explicitly be discussed. Mark R. Galvin/K Nelson LATEX and Beamer Free/Open Source Software . think free speech, not free beer What is F/OSS? Free/open source software (F/OSS) is software for which the human-readable source code is made available to the user of the software, who can then modify the code in order to fit the software to the user’s needs. The source code is the set of written instructions that define a program in its original form, and when it’s made fully accessible programmers can read it, modify it, and redistribute it, thereby improving and adapting the software. In this manner the software evolves at a rate unmatched by traditional proprietary software. Where is it? Hiding on the internet.
