Exhibition Absolu.

June 21, 2024 14:00

From June 21, 2024 to March 29, 2025

Organized by the Fondation Bernardaud, ABSOLU. is an exhibition of contemporary sculptural ceramics. It presents 13 extraordinary international artists who constantly overcome the limits of the material for the benefit of a free, personal and creative creation, terribly demanding.

Some works are hushed and haloed with mystery. Works like territories, giving themselves to us without puffery or bluster-pure, absolute-emerging from a constantly exploring mind and a gesture to quote the famous American ceramicist Peter Voulkos: "where the risk is great but, spiritually, worth taking.".

From the antipodes of the accident or stroke of luck come works like islands of the spectacular. Works that live, far more than by masterful technique, by the poetry inhabiting them and the meditation they inspire. Works that bear within themselves a perseverance in seeking, a form of sublime insistence.
