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

Greg Daly

Jackie Masters

Beth O'Sullivan

Robyn Phelan

Nani Puspasari

The exhibition will be held at Manly Art Gallery & Museum between 16 April – 30 May 2027.

We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded and that we are on stolen land. We pay our respect to Elders past, present, and emerging, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who engage with the Association, our events, and our programs.

As we gather to listen and speak we are doing so in the home of one of the longest continuous cultures of shared oral storytelling, material wisdom, and artmaking on this planet.
