Clay in Vivo

ASC Art House Gallery - Croydon

Clay in vivo brings together eight artists who work with clay to explore ideas that have, at their heart, its materiality, raw energy and plasticity - as well as its ability to hold memory and tell stories.

All the works in the show celebrate unfired clay, which gives rise to the possibility of change and transition over the course of the exhibition. This process of transition is further manifested in how the artists approach clay, using its unique qualities to embody a liminal state.

Clay in vivo goes beyond the usual exhibition to offer visitors a hands-on creative experience with clay through workshops and performances, which unfold clay’s capacity to connect, heal, shape and reimagine our world.

A panel discussion chaired by Tessa Peters will reflect on the vitality of clay as a catalyst in the collaborative outcomes of these artist-public interactions.
