Strange Clay at the Hayward Gallery 26 Oct 2022 –⁠ 8 Jan 2023

26 Oct 2022 –⁠ 8 Jan 2023

Hayward Gallery, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX

“Strange Clay: Ceramics in Contemporary Art is the first large-scale group exhibition in the UK exploring how contemporary artists have used clay in unexpected ways.”

“The artworks on show encompass fantastical creatures and uncanny representations of the everyday, as well as ranging from small abstract works to large-scale installations that take the medium beyond the kiln.

Strange Clay explores the possibilities of thinking through making.

The artworks vary in scale, finish and technique, and address topics that range from architecture, to social justice, the body, the domestic and the organic.

While contributing to the broadening dialogue between art and craft, this exhibition provides a closer look at this tactile medium.”
