📙 In this issue, Cammi Climaco takes us inside Takuro Kuwata’s exhibition at Salon 94, New York, unpacking the artist’s playful, provocative, and unapologetic approach to clay. Katherina Perlongo explores Kate Newby’s site-specific installation anything, anything at Klosterruine Berlin, while Katherine Ross’s essay Tracing Ways investigates the connections between material, presence, and place in E. Saffronia Downing and Rosemary Holliday Hall’s recent exhibition. Lastly, Jennifer Zwilling offers an in-depth look at the resident artist exhibitions at The Clay Studio, featuring Josephine Mette Larsen, Jinsik Yoo, and Liisa Nelson.
This issue presents the work of four ceramic artists: Sam Lucas, Michał Puszczyński, Melissa Stern, and Cristina Fiorenza, each with a distinct perspective on form, process, and materiality.
Our exhibition selection includes the Unearthed group exhibition at the Orange County Museum of Art in Costa Mesa, Ruby Neri: Taking the Deep Dive at the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art in Davis, Saraï Delfendahl: Vivre en Oiseau at Galerie SCENE OUVERTE in Paris, and Sara Möller: Driva Drift at Berg Gallery in Stockholm.
