Boundaries of Metamorphosis: Contemporary Ceramics

The exhibition brings together eight international artists who use ceramics as a medium to question boundaries, transform forms, and set materials in motion. Uriel Caspi combines organic shapes with an almost archaeological material language, while Irina Razumovskaya explores the interplay of decay and permanence in fragile surfaces. Soah Kim creates poetic forms inspired by nature and myth, and Angelika Arendt develops complex structures that shift between growth and ornamentation. In the works of Keiyona C. Stumpf, biomorphic volumes merge with vibrant glazes and sensual color palettes, while Justina Moncevičiūtè explores the relationship between space and body through minimalist, texture-focused objects. Livia Marina reflects on transformation, fragments, and memory, and Helena Hafeman experiments with sculptural ceramics that embody both movement and stillness.

 

Boundaries of Metamorphosis understands metamorphosis not only as a formal change, but also as a symbolic process – a crossing of physical, cultural, and conceptual boundaries. The exhibited works open a dialogue between tradition and experimentation, between craftsmanship and artistic vision.

 

With this exhibition, SCHENKWEITZDÖRFER sends a clear message: Ceramic art, long overshadowed by other sculptural disciplines, emerges here as an independent, contemporary language – one that can address global themes just as powerfully as the intimacy of its material.
