The exhibition


At the Villa Datris, ceramics in all its states

For its twelfth exhibition, the Villa Datris, whose programming has been centered around contemporary sculpture since its creation, presents 103 ceramic artists of 23 different nationalities. The exhibition seeks to present a panorama of the infinite possibilities of creation that working with clay offers to artists.

At the Villa Datris, major artists such as Pablo Picasso, Fernand Léger, Fontana or Miquel Barceló rub shoulders with young, as yet unknown artists, recently discovered by Da-nièle Kapel-Marcovici, founder of this setting for sculpture with her late husband Tris-tan Fourtine, and the permanent curator of the exhibitions Stéphane Baumet. The tour offers an eclectic panorama of their aims and methods of expression. "Living Matter: Magics of Nature," "Changing Matter: Alchemy, Organisms, and Hybridizations," or "Modern Matter: The Archaeology of the Future": as the names of the different sections suggest, the whole tends to explore both the techniques of shaping and firing clay, and the capacity to imitate or translate a subject or, on the contrary, the expressive potential in terms of formal liberation of a medium also considered by some artists to be a graphic medium.
