Clay in Vivo

APT GALLERY - Deptford, UK

Clay in vivo pushes the boundaries of what can be sculpted, expressed and exhibited using raw clay.

The exhibition brings together twelve artists, who work collaboratively with this transient material to reveal its power for embodiment, immediacy and connection. Stathis Dimitriadis curates the diverse voices into an immersive story told through the language of clay.

Clay in vivo advocates that raw clay is a vital conduit for connecting people with the creative experience and the fundamental act of making. Going beyond the conventional exhibition format we invite visitors to take part in hands-on experiences of transforming one of the gallery spaces into Collaborative Landshapes’. Together we will create a continually changing clay ‘diary’ made of sections of different topographies that will reflect our diversity and our collective histories. The final weekend includes an artist’s panel talk chaired by Tessa Peters, an afternoon of storytelling and a finissage event.
