Earth & Alchemy celebrates
contemporary ceramic sculpture and showcases a cross-generational
selection of nearly two dozen influential artists. Exploring a range of
ideas encompassing conceptualism, social activism, materiality, and
humor, this exhibition presents a survey of approaches to ceramics that
often push the boundaries of one of the world’s oldest media. Whether
through expansive sculptures, extraterrestrial installations, or
fantastical vessels, the artists included in the exhibition have
developed novel techniques—such as using oven-baked backyard clay
covered with house paints, layering slip over glaze to create richly
textured and encrusted surfaces, or silk-screening digital imagery onto
porcelain. Earth & Alchemyexamines the depth and range of ceramic practice today—a macrocosm of clay.

“Grayson Perry afforded us the rare opportunity of a visit to his studio
in Walthamstow, north-east London. Describing pottery as his gimmick,
Perry goes on to show us his process before explaining why he wants
people to be able to just enjoy art, rather than having to interpret it.”

Please join us at Mobilia Gallery to meet the artists and view this extraordinary collection of sculptural and functional teapot forms.

The teapot is an enduring symbol of hospitality throughout
the world, and exploring the sculptural teapot form has been a source of
inspiration for artisans throughout history. For The Teapot Redefined,
we have invited a variety of artists working in diverse media such as
paper, glass, wood, metal, beads, ceramic and textiles to add their own
unique interpretation of the teapot form.
