About the work

For the Whitechapel Gallery, Emma Hart has created a series of 20 unique ceramic works.

These hanging sculptures are portraits; an open mouth and nose are outlined in two interlocking forms, resembling a precarious Dada-esque typography.  The sculptural harmony is in turn ruptured by messy emotion. An open mouth dangles from the profile of a nose, the bridge of the nose has been pinched, and the bottom of the lip has been pulled, Oh Dear. Hart acknowledges the intrinsic doubt and anxiety in daily life and the precariousness of art-making inviting the viewer to physically experience the works as though they are indeed human substitutes.

About the artist

Originally trained as a photographer, London-based artist Emma Hart (b. 1974) continues to combine the paraphernalia of image making, actual photographs, film and sound with the added component of fired clay. Her brightly glazed ceramic objects and body parts stand in the legacy of Claes Oldenburg’s papier-mâché food sculptures of the 1960s – stacked cheese burgers, cascading ice cream sundaes. Similarly wobbly, over-scaled and cartoonish, Hart’s ceramic jugs, tongues, wine glasses, hands and breasts evoke not only the ephemera of our everyday appetites, but also our emotions. 

Hart’s recent works refer to repeated patterns of human behaviour and their effect on relationships.  The space between viewer and object is charged with the artist’s particularly personal take on her experiences. Intimacy, messiness, and autobiography are key motifs.

Hart was awarded the Max Mara Art Prize for Women in 2017, resulting in a six month residency in three Italian cities and a commission for a large-scale installation at Whitechapel Gallery, entitled Emma Hart: Mamma Mia! (12 July – 3 September 2017).

Simplistic and Inappropriate
Format: Paperback
I was hoping this book would provide insights into how to present complex information in a more comprehensible, useful format, using PowerPoint as the tool. Instead, the overall gist of this book is that presentations should be "dumbed down" as much as possible. The theme the author presents is that presentations should be story based. This is reasonable. However, the method the author recommends is that essentially *all* meaningful, complex (or, as the author prefers "boring") content be removed from the presentation. Presentations then become nothing more than catchy headlines and colorful graphics. All content should be in the presenter's notes (not typically to be provided). This is juvenile and useless and frankly reflects a complete lack of understanding of how presentations are made in a complex business environment.

On the right track
Format: Paperback
This book is a good introduction about how to use story-telling techniques in PowerPoint presentations. There are some good ideas here that you won't find in technical manuals. If you don't know film techniques these will be eye-opening. But the book could have been much stronger if it were to push these concepts to the next level. I saw a PowerPoint presentation with Andy Goodman, who teaches more or less the same thing, and his presentation nailed these concepts more cleanly than this book does. But again, this book is definitely worth checking out if you haven't studied storytelling before.

An Essential
Format: Paperback
I've created PowerPoints for executives in major corporations and national non-profits for years now, and this is one of the first books I suggest anyone who needs to create their own PowerPoint look to. Beyond Bullet points is accessable enough that the novice PowerPoint user can understand what's going on and use the lessons in his or her next presentation; it's also detailed and challenging enough that even an old salt like me can find things to learn and do. Don't be another person who stands on stage reading their PowerPoint, and don't let reading your slides distract the audience from your presentation; follow the suggestions in this book and wow your audience.

Essential reading for PowerPoint presenters.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Cliff shows details how to improve our PowerPoint presentations. He gives concrete and simple steps to transform a message into a targeted presentation. All of us have suffered from presenters who went over their allotted time because they had vital information to give us, yet we still didn't know their main point. Many have seen slide decks burdened with dozens of bullet points. Did the volume of points yield more clarity or did they dull our ability to focus on the message? Probably not. Read Cliff's book. Follow his method and you'll be a more effective presenter.
