Exhibition co-curated by Kate Bonansinga and Vincent Burke
Multiplicity presented recent work by eight U.S.-based artists who create large-scale works by combining small-scale repeated clay forms. The primary intention of the exhibition was to present and discuss this trend in the field and to lend it theoretical credence by showcasing some of the best artists working in this vein today.
Most of the eight pieces in Multiplicity were part of a lineage of installation art that began in the 1970s, because they activated space and were more monumental enough to incorporate the viewer. In process, these artworks drew upon a much older history, one connected to the Arts and Crafts Movement, when ceramic vessels were produced in multiples, designed with consideration and finished by hand.
