Ceramics are more popular today than ever. This can be explained by the tactile nature of clay. In a world that is becoming increasingly digital, we are looking for tangibleness. The great interest also has to do with the archetypal meaning of the pot: the symbol for bringing together and coming together. These facts are tied together in the exhibition Room full of clay and the accompanying publication Hands, Eyes, Ceramics. Eight Velgian and Dutch artists are featured whose work expresses the connection between man and earth. This is not only expressed in the form of objects such as the bowl and the vase. Like no other material, clay lends itself as a theme.
Room full of clay and Hands, Eyes, Ceramics portray the diversity within ceramics. They take a closer look at the sculptural work of four pioneers who, from the 1950s, not only reinvented applied ceramics, but above all put the medium on the map as an art form: José Vermeersch, Pierre Culot, Lutgart De Meyer and Rogier Vandeweghe. In addition, the work of four artists from the next generation who integrate installation, land art, performance, video and photography in ceramics is highlighted: Anne Ausloos, Nathalie Doyen, Alexandra Engelfriet and Bie Michels. It is under the influence of the environmental movement of the 1970s that they also turned their attention to the material, the clay. They make visible the wealth of stories that clay carries in it, and with it the preciousness of the earth./p>
