Cracked


Tristan Hoare presented Cracked, an exhibition curated by Leonie Mir and dedicated to hand-moulded ceramics made without the use of a wheel. By removing the structure provided by a wheel, the exhibition focused on contemporary artists who construct, sculpt and mould clay, demonstrating what can be achieved with ‘a little bit of mud and a little bit of genius’ (Paul Gauguin). 

Among the many artists that they exhibited, they were excited to be including Shinichi Sawada’s ceramic creatures. “Their eccentric, thorny exteriors are a mixture of historical totems and mass-manufactured motifs from popular culture.”

Participating artists included:
Aaron Angell, Amy Bessone, John Booth, Shawanda Corbett, Tommaso Corvi-Mora, Karin Gulbran, Ruan Hoffmann, Takuro Kuwata, Matthew Lutz-Kinoy, Fausto Melotti, Sterling Ruby, Shinichi Sawada, Peter Schlesinger, Katy Stubbs, Kaori Tatebayashi, Alessandro Twombly, and Sophie von Hellerman, amongst others.
