Thereby, the two group exhibitions in Bremen and Hamburg are dedicated to different aspects. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gak-bremen.de\/de\/ausstellungen\/further-thoughts-on-earthy-materials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The chapter at GAK Bremen <\/a>focusses&nbsp;on the presence of the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Kunsthaus Hamburg chapter addresses the inherent paradox of fired clay: both its being&nbsp;one of the oldest cultural techniques of serial (re)production (i.e. bricks, porcelain) and its&nbsp;haptic qualities that highlight&nbsp;immediate and time-consuming sculptural creation and craftsmanship.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition at the Kunsthaus thus presents artistic approaches that employ&nbsp;ceramics, being a cultural technique which has been handed down from generation to generation, as a medium of engaging with contemporary technologies and issues, and question&nbsp;these in their current relevance: which role does the recreation, depiction, and reproduction of three-dimensional forms though fired clay play today (in the era of 3D scans and printers)? Which material, cultural, moral, or technical&nbsp;implications are connected with the medium?&nbsp;The selected works take up questions concerning the significance of seriality, authenticity, and originality as well as the archeological, anarchic, and dystopic character of the material.<\/p>\n<p>Curated by Janneke de Vries and Katja Schroeder<\/p>\n<p>Following the exhibitions, a catalogue is going to be published by Verlag der&nbsp;Buchhandlung&nbsp;Walther K&ouml;nig.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current editions<\/strong> of the exhibition can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/current-art-editions\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can download our&nbsp;<strong>exhibition brochure<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Besucherblatt_Homepage_englisch_reduced.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Kindly supported by<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6368 img-fluid pull-left\" src=\"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FT_Logo-Zusammenstellung_Homepage_Teufel-272x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"272\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FT_Logo-Zusammenstellung_Homepage_Teufel-272x300.jpg 272w, https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/FT_Logo-Zusammenstellung_Homepage_Teufel-449x495.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 272px) 100vw, 272px\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Suse Bauer, Katinka Bock, Neil Brownsword, William Cobbing, Anna Lena Grau, Ilana Harris-Babou, Emma Hart, Judith Hopf, Emre H\u00fcner, Lou Masduraud &#038; Antoine Bellini, Johannes Nagel, Kate Newby, Nicol\u00e1s Osorno, Pablo Schlumberger, Kerstin Stoll, Jennifer Tee, Ingo Vetter, Franziska Windolf, Jesse Wine, Xiaopeng Zhou<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6408,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5786"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5786"}],"version-history":[{"count":32,"href":"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5786\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6709,"href":"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5786\/revisions\/6709"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kunsthaushamburg.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
