Contemporary Clay Catalogue
Contemporary Clay, curated by Heather Mae Erickson, is an exhibition that examines
the evolving, expanded field of clay and ceramics that ran October 6 - December 16,
2016. There are exciting shifts throughout the field, pushing this limitless material
through new processes and concepts. This exhibition aims to show the depth and
breadth of this material and its user's ideas, ranging from, but not limited to, traditional
and non-traditional functional objects, rapid prototyping, use of mixed materials in
objects and installations and unfired clay as a final material. This exhibition encourages
viewers to consider the concepts, processes and contexts of clay in contemporary art.
Each artist, from emerging to established, was selected due to his or her noteworthy
contribution to the field of contemporary clay and ceramics.
