Forms of touch - Exhibition by ceramicist Kála M. Kovács

Opening on Tuesday, April 1, 2025 at 6 p.m.
On view until April 17, 2025, Monday-Friday, 1-6 p.m.

The chimera seeks the boundaries not only of biological beings, but also of identity, and expresses the desire for transformation. In the works, hand movements and bird symbolism are combined as a means of gesticulation. Overt or unnoticed forms of non-verbal communication, unconscious reactions of our feelings. The half-bird, half-human creatures refer to the blurring of the boundaries of body and soul, providing an artistic language that encompasses not only the physical, but also the spiritual and emotional aspects of existence.
The objects record these moments.

The costumes, jewelry, clothing accessories, ceramics, and furniture elements shown in the exhibition testify to the new dimensions of possibilities hidden in details.

“In a broad sense, transcendent is understood as ‘otherworldly’, which is ‘beyond’ human existence. It is opposed to the immanent (‘this-worldly’) concept of existence. The word comes from the Latin verb transcendo (to transcend) and refers to a possible reality, in order to know which one must transcend the boundaries of the ordinary sense.” /wikipedia/

The recipients are asked to let go of the everyday rituals of perception. Believe, see, feel, think with us.
Exhibitors try to present a world they assume to the audience through their works of porcelain, ceramic and glass objects. Through symbols and depictions of stories.
