Overview
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.

Mit Boundaries of Metamorphosis eröffnet SCHENKWEITZDÖRFER die erste Ausstellung unter der neuen Leitung von Joana Weitzdörfer. Nach drei Jahrzehnten erfolgreicher Arbeit der Galerie Brigitte Schenk beginnt mit der Übergabe von Brigitte Schenk-Weitzdörfer an ihre Tochter ein neues Kapitel – eines, das Bewährtes fortführt und zugleich neue Perspektiven wagt.
 
Die Ausstellung versammelt acht internationale Künstler*innen, die Keramik als Medium nutzen, um Grenzen zu hinterfragen, Formen zu metamorphorisieren und Materialien in Bewegung zu versetzen. Uriel Caspi verbindet organische Formen mit einer fast archäologischen Materialsprache, während Irina Razumovskaya das Wechselspiel von Verfall und Beständigkeit in fragilen Oberflächen erforscht. Soah Kim schafft poetische, von Natur und Mythen inspirierte Formen, und Angelika Arendt entwickelt komplexe Strukturen, die zwischen Wachstum und Ornament changieren. In den Arbeiten von Keiyona C. Stumpf verschmelzen biomorphe Volumen mit leuchtenden Glasuren und sinnlicher Farbigkeit, während Justina Moncevičiūtè in minimalistischen, texturbetonten Objekten die Beziehung zwischen Raum und Körper auslotet. Livia Marin reflektiert über Transformation, Fragment und Erinnerung, und Helena Hafemann experimentiert mit skulpturalen Keramiken, die Bewegung und Stillstand zugleich verkörpern.
 
Boundaries of Metamorphosis versteht Metamorphose nicht nur als formale Veränderung, sondern auch als symbolischen Prozess – als Überschreiten von physischen, kulturellen und gedanklichen Grenzen. Die gezeigten Werke öffnen einen Dialog zwischen Tradition und Experiment, zwischen Handwerk und künstlerischer Vision.
 
Mit dieser Ausstellung setzt SCHENKWEITZDÖRFER ein deutliches Zeichen: Die keramische Kunst, lange Zeit im Schatten der bildhauerischen Disziplinen, tritt hier als eigenständige, zeitgenössische Sprache auf, die globale Themen ebenso verhandeln kann wie die Intimität des Materials.

With Boundaries of Metamorphosis, SCHENKWEITZDÖRFER presents its first exhibition under the new direction of Joana Weitzdörfer. After three decades of successful gallery work by Brigitte Schenk, the handover to her daughter marks the beginning of a new chapter – one that honors the past while opening up fresh perspectives.

 

The exhibition brings together eight international artists who use ceramics to question boundaries, transform forms, and set materials into motion. Uriel Caspi merges organic shapes with an almost archaeological material language, while Irina Razumovskayaexplores the interplay between decay and permanence in delicately textured surfaces. Soah Kim creates poetic forms inspired by nature and myth, andAngelika Arendtdevelops intricate structures that oscillate between growth and ornament. In Keiyona C. Stumpf’s work, biomorphic volumes fuse with vibrant glazes and sensual coloration, whereas Justina Moncevičiūtè investigates the relationship between space and body through minimalist, texture-focused objects. Livia Marin reflects on transformation, fragmentation, and memory, while Helena Hafemann experiments with sculptural ceramics that embody both movement and stillness.

 

Boundaries of Metamorphosis approaches metamorphosis not only as a formal transformation but also as a symbolic process – a crossing of physical, cultural, and conceptual borders. The works on view open a dialogue between tradition and experimentation, between craftsmanship and artistic vision.

 

With this exhibition, SCHENKWEITZDÖRFER makes a clear statement: ceramic art, long overshadowed by other sculptural disciplines, emerges here as an independent, contemporary language capable of addressing global themes as well as the intimacy of its material.
