Side Gallery is delighted to announce the opening it’s annual exhibition at Casavells. Situated in the Idyllic countryside of Empordà – Costa Brava, the magnificent Spanish masia will host the presentation of a curated selection of design and contemporary ceramics.
The 2022 seasonal edition will act as a continuation of Side Gallery’s recent ceramic exhibition, “Exposed Materials”, whereby a new group of artists, such as Liu Xi with her gilded ceramic sculptures that show the stunning diversity and beauty of the female anatomy, and Roger Herman’s surrealist vases decorated with Paleolithic cave drawings, recommence the gallery’s desire to explore the world of clay. Amongst others, Nick Weddell’s googly eyed stool, and amorphous tableware, Adam Shiverdecker’s absurd mugs, Harvey Bouterse’s chic ceramic lamps, and Willem Van Hoof’s African vessels explore the diverse nature of contemporary vernacular ceramics.

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.
