📙 In this issue, we highlight exhibitions and essays that reflect on legacy, cultural translation, and the dynamic role of material in shaping meaning. We look at the new direction of Ceramic Art Andenne 2025 and feature The Whole World in Our Hands, a group exhibition at The Stephen Lawrence Gallery in London, in an extended piece that includes interviews with all six participating artists. Unu Sohn examines Self-Made: Reshaping Identities at the Foundling Museum, while Joshua G. Stein unpacks meaning and form in Del Harrow’s and Yonatan Hopp’s recent exhibition at Sculpture Space NYC. Brigit Connolly’s interview explores the work of Anne-Laure Cano and Jim Gladwin in a defunct tile factory, where material memory and place converge.
This issue also presents featured artists Chris Gustin, Rosa Nguyen, and Ho Lai alongside key exhibitions, including Alive & Unfolding at Le Delta, Namur; History: A Legacy in Motion at the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum, New York; Sean Gerstley at Superhouse, New York; Katie Spragg at Ruup & Form, London, and more.
