About the Exhibition:
Fahrenheit 2024 presents 100 pieces selected by juror Kathy King from hundreds submitted in response to AMOCA’s open call. The selected pieces created by contemporary artists range from more traditional vase and vessel forms to large-scale wall installations. While all pieces are mainly ceramic, visitors to Fahrenheit 2024 will encounter additional materials including hair, insulated wire, audio components, wax candles, a zip tie, and found objects. In Fahrenheit 2024, viewers are invited to consider traditional and innovative practices in ceramics, witnessing the range of creativity, technique, and inspiration these contemporary ceramic artists draw upon.
