Carwan Gallery is thrilled to announce a landmark ceramics exhibition in Greece, in collaboration with Milan-based non-profit, Fondazione Officine Saffi. The exhibition introduces a curated selection of 27 ceramic artists from across the globe, most of whom are shown in Greece for the first time. Carwan Gallery's trailblazing projects in contemporary design meet Fondazione Officine Saffi's collection of extraordinary ceramics, in a dialogue-driven exhibition that sets a new precedent for cultural collaborations within the gallery's already diverse programme.

The exhibition at Carwan Gallery offers a comprehensive overview of artists from Fondazione Officine Saffi's remarkable collection, highlighting the foundation's extensive research in 20th-century and contemporary ceramics. Spanning from the 1970s to the present, the exhibition underscores the foundation's enduring commitment to ceramics as a potent artistic medium. The showcase encompasses both functional and non-functional ceramic pieces, most of which specially commissioned by Fondazione Officine Saffi and now part of its collection. Every artwork on display is pushing the boundaries of the medium, showcasing the limitless creativity, expressiveness, and plastic potential of clay, in a visual and material conversation between the past and the present.
