At a moment when ceramics are everywhere, Between Things: Alberta Ceramics includes sculptures and installations made by contemporary artists committed to clay to ask how ceramics can activate our experience of and relationship to the world around us. This exhibition examines the ceramic object through three interconnected ideas—the ceramic object in relation to its materials and processes; the ceramic object in relation to its context; and the affective nature of the ceramic object in relation to the self and body.
