Runette Kruger is a full time lecturer in Ceramic Design and Art Theory in the Department of Fine and Applied Arts, Faculty of the Arts, at the Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria, South Africa. She has recently obtained an M-Tech FA (Magister Technologiae in Fine Arts), where she investigated the way in which early Modernist abstract art has been evaluated and commented on in Modernist and Post-Modernist art criticism. She has published articles on the work and ideas of Piet Mondrian in accredited academic journals. She is furthermore also a practicing artist. She makes ceramic vessels in which she addresses the notion of the interrelatedness of world historical and artistic phenomena, such as for instance the way in which Delft (Dutch ceramic ware) can be seen as the amalgamation of the arts and social concerns of Europe, Asia and the Middel East. Her work is shown internationally, including at an exhibition in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in June 2007.
