Side Gallery is delighted to announce the opening of “Exposed Material”, featuring works by Virginia Leonard, Faye Hadfield, Adam Knocke and Vince Palacios. The exhibition aims to provide a snapshot of the current state of the ceramic field, bringing together a small group of artists of different generations, introducing an up to date development of ceramics as a sculptural medium from the artist’s perspective.
The collection of richly glazed ceramics demonstrates the creative sensibilities of each individual artist, who demonstrate their expertise through the exploration of innovative techniques and radical thought processes.
The playful works which are gloriously colourful, adorned with bright glazes, gritty forms, cracks, sharp ends and lumps or bulbous, refer to a myriad of approaches and techniques used by the artists to embrace a broad range of personal and cultural elements.

About
Side Gallery
Side Gallery, established in Barcelona and founded in November 2015 works with international design of the twentieth century, as well as contemporary design. The gallery focuses on Latin American historical design from countries such as Brasil, Mexico, or Venezuela, primarily concentrating on the work of Oscar Niemeyer, Geraldo de Barros, Lina Bo Bardi, Luis Barragán, Antonio Bonet and Joaquim Tenreiro, but also with a special sensibility for Spanish and Italian design of the past century and rare pieces by relevant architects worldwide. For its contemporary design projects, the gallery invites international designers, architects and contemporary artists to re-think design and handcraft traditions through ethnographic methods proposing a dialogue between two centuries to develop limited-edition works, commissioned and produced exclusively. Committed to innovation and tradition, the gallery collects, preserves, and promotes modern and contemporary design, whilst exploring ideas across cultures through different initiatives and collaborations. In addition to presenting a dynamic schedule of gallery exhibitions, Side Gallery proposes site-specific interventions worldwide at singular architectural landmarks working with renowned curators and offering a rereading of the lines between architecture, art and design.
