Description

Under the title "Ceramics between time and space", Gmunden aims to continue to live up to its already established reputation as a city of ceramics on a contemporary level. 

Opening June 22, 2024 at 5:00 pm

This is where projects between art and craft, theory and practice, inspiration and innovation come together. The result is a sustainable Austrian competence center for ceramics that creates international relevance – from the Salzkammergut!
With its wide range of offerings, Gmunden will become a center for established and future ceramics experts as well as for ceramics enthusiasts and viewers from Austria and abroad. All of the planned initiatives are about awakening the interests of and involving the residents of the Salzkammergut as well as artists and guests from all over the world. A committed public commitment to the focus on ceramics in a historical and contemporary context.

In this exhibition, the “feminine” is treated as a kind of divine perspective. It therefore does not focus on the figures of the artists, but on the haptics of the medium of clay – the body. Works by artists such as Seni Awa Camara and Leilah Babirye can be admired, which express something hopeful: the potential for a life beyond arbitrary socio-cultural positions and divisions.
