This exhibition's constant is the material [clay]. In this way, critical aspects of individual practices and cultural lexicons surface. A meditation in the notion of difference is performed by enforcing this constant. It also folds back onto the fontanian mantra of privileging concept over process - neutralizing the material as a given and accentuating various conceptualisms. Infused with individuality, cultural identification, signs of specificity of geo-political exigencies which serves to deneutralize the constant of the clay, tradition and innovation are negotiated by the artists: Elke Krystufek's ceramic toilet with laptop and mobile telephone holder; Nina Childress's clay wigs after pictures of model; Kristian Hornsleth's Fuck You Art Lovers; Momoyo Torimitsu's treatment of signs of preciousness and gendre in her belly-flopped-bunny.
