Artlyst - A Question Of Clay: Strange Clay – Hayward Gallery


‘Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in ceramics from artists and the public, from the popularity of The Great Pottery Throw Down to Theaster Gates’ The Question of Clay, a multi-institution project in 2021-22 across Whitechapel Gallery, Serpentine and the V&A that investigated the making, labour and production of clay, as well as its collecting history. Now, the Hayward Gallery gives us 23 international artists who stretch the medium itself, going beyond vessels into assemblage, sculpture and installation while examining the plasticity and possibilities of ceramics. As the exhibition’s curator, Dr Cliff Lauson, notes, by using “innovative methods and techniques”, these artists “push the medium to its physical and conceptual limits.”'

See also my November diary for Artlyst which covers Look and See, an exhibition by ceramicist Marta Jakobovits and also my review of Theaster Gates' A Clay Sermon at Whitechapel Gallery.
