Bodies of Evidence: Experimentation in Contemporary Australian Ceramics is a major exhibition of work pushing the scientific boundaries of ceramics in 2027. It aims to highlight contemporary Australian ceramic practitioners exploring scientific questions – from climate change to physics – and presents ‘finished’ works alongside the ephemera of experimentation, including test tiles, process photographs, and ‘failed’ attempts. Visitors to Manly Art Gallery & Museum will delve into ceramic research, experiments, and findings – and the big questions that these works try to answer.
Exhibiting artists are:
Chantelle Baistow NSW
Pie Bolton VIC
Greg Daly NSW
Jackie Masters WA
Beth O'Sullivan ACT
Robyn Phelan VIC with Emily Parsons-Lord VIC
Nani Puspasari VIC
Ilona Topolcsanyi VIC
Larissa Warren QLD
Mads Wainwright ACT
The exhibition will be held at Manly Art Gallery & Museum between 16 April – 30 May 2027.
