Clay today

Edición de la obra Clay today

The exhibition Clay Today is a tribute to the five ceramicists who in 1994 are behind the establishment of CLAY Ceramics Museum: Betty Engholm, Nina Hole, Niels Huang, Birgit Krogh and Peter Tybjerg. The exhibition focuses on Nina Hole (1941-2016) with her beautiful, fragile and yet strong sculptures of houses, ships, chests and creatures in large and small formats. Peter Tybjerg (b. 1944) with his powerful vases and jars with interpretations of landscapes and weather, Birgit Krogh (b. 1937) with her rhythmic, fabled tales of fate between play and seriousness. Niels Huang (b. 1943) with ceramic works that show a lifelong fascination with mathematical thinking, the technically challenging and poetically whimsical, while Betty Engholm (b. 1933) with man as the central focal point stretches her work into monumental sculptures in a strong and graphic design language. Exhibition: CLAY Keramikmuseet, Middelfart, Denmark (17.11.2019-03.05.2020). Udstillingen Clay Today er en hyldest til de fem keramikere, der i 1994 står bag etableringen af CLAY Keramikmuseum: Betty Engholm, Nina Hole, Niels Huang, Birgit Krogh og Peter Tybjerg. Udstillingen sætter fokus på Nina Hole (1941-2016) med sine smukke, skrøbelige og dog stærke skulpturer af huse, skibe, skrin og skabninger i store og små formater. Peter Tybjerg (f. 1944) med sine kraftfulde vaser og krukker med fortolkninger af landskaber og vejr, Birgit Krogh (f. 1937) med sine rytmiske, fabulerende skæbnefortællinger mellem leg og alvor. Niels Huang (f. 1943) med keramiske værker der viser en livslang fascination af matematisk tænkning, det teknisk udfordrende og poetisk finurlige, mens Betty Engholm (f. 1933) med mennesket som det centrale omdrejningspunkt spænder sit virke ud i monumentale skulpturer i et stærkt og grafisk formsprog. Exhibition: CLAY Keramikmuseet, Middelfart, Denmark (17.11.2019-03.05.2020).
