Mission

This artwork featured in The Precious Clay (2019). 

Mission is a delicate, porcelain-like moebius strip with the mission statement “We continually exceed our customers’ increasing expectations”. In the highly competitive world of porcelain production, Royal Worcester faced fluctuating fortunes since 1751, when it was founded in the city by a group of 15 men. The Museum of Royal Worcester’s collections tell a story of taste, art and culture but also the story of a commercial enterprise that needed to constantly renew itself in order to please. Berger’s works are deeply rooted in a fascination for management concepts, methods and discourses: she creates objects, videos and installations that adapt and transform them into the field of art.
