Portrait d’artiste, film & groupshow BeCraft Gallery, Mons, Belgium 23/06>08/09/2019

VIDEO

D’ordinaire, une création se présente de manière décontextualisée. Elle est là, nue devant nos yeux. 
Pourtant, l’oeuvre n’est rien sans son créateur pour lui donner forme. Et de la même façon, ces derniers ne sont rien sans un spectateur pour contempler.

C’est pourquoi BeCraft propose une découverte en plusieurs temps de ses artistes membres où créations et vidéoprojections s’exposent en vis-à-vis. 

Becraft Gallery: Site des Anciens Abattoirs 17/02, Rue de la Trouille, 7000 Mons, Belgium www.becraft.org.

À travers ces portraits d’artistes se croisent différentes disciplines motivées par différentes aspirations. Se croisent aussi les regards qui nous semblent dire quelque chose.

VISCERAL CLAY, Look don’t touch, Peters Projects, Santa Fe, NM, USA, 29/03>08/06/2019

Ceramics are ubiquitous in the Art World today states Marc Del Vecchio, curator of Visceral Clay and Director at Peters Projects.

Artists in the exhibition are Anne Marie LaureysAneta Regal, King Houndekpinkou, The Haas BrothersTony Marsh and Hank Saxe.

Artists are creating unique and curious works beyond the usual thought of what ceramics can be. Materials have evolved, processes have changed and in the hands of contemporary artists, new works are born every day. This exhibition gives the viewer unexpected sensations as the eye drifts across the sculptures, catching on their surfaces, colors and shapes. The organic and amorphic qualities in all these works speak to you only on their terms, with no place to escape.

 

CRMCS#1 Zwart Huis Brussels, Belgium, 11/11>22/12/2018

A selection of contemporary Belgian ceramics a groupshow curated by Kris Campo at Zwart Huis, Brussels, Rivoli Building #12

CRMCS#1 is an exhibition that came out of a meeting, but also because of an appetite and enthusiasm for it. When gallerist Elke Helbig of Zwart Huis met ceramicist Kris Campo there was an instant appetite and enthusiasm to celebrate and honour the ceramic arts, their expressive power, their sensuality, tactility, sense of spectacle and the visual richness of clay as an artistic vehicle.

 

 

LOOK OUT SOLOshow at Jason Jacques Gallery, New York 07/11>11/12/2018

Jason Jacques Gallery is thrilled to present new work by Anne Marie Laureys, a Belgian artist based in Russeignies, in her first solo exhibition in the United States.

Over the course of her lengthy career, Laureys’ vision of what constitutes a vessel— and wherein lies its potential— has been refined into an effervescent series of forms reminiscent of gently-gaping heart valves, clouds, sand dunes, and rippling waves fashioned of paper-thin stoneware. The undulating vessels, which Laureys has called “metaphors for feelings,” have reached their remarkably organic state of being through meticulous turns around and around the potter’s wheel, followed by sculptural warping resulting in a striking visual effect.

There is a subtle inversion the interior-exterior boundary these vessels engage in as they twist and turn on themselves. These spacious, fine forms “hide the inside while framing the outside.” Laureys’ sculptures are not only novel and technically advanced in their approach to the sculptural development of a wheel-thrown vessel, they are also visually complex and full of spaces for a wandering eye to travel through.

This life-long relationship with clay began during the artist’s studies at the Luca School of Art in Ghent, Belgium. Since then, her work has been exhibited at the Icheon Biennale in South Korea, in Taiwan (Yingge), Japan (Mino), China (Changhai), and more recently in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France and at Florida’s Boca Raton Museum of Art for the exhibition Regarding George Ohr: Contemporary Ceramics in the Spirit of the Mad Potter (2017-18).

Look Out opens November 7th and runs through December 11th. A reception will be held on November 7th from 6:00 to 8:00pm at the gallery.
