From clay to contemporary living: ‘Between Block and Void’ reimagines ceramic art in Gurugram
Between Block and Void opens in Gurugram, inviting audiences to reconsider the role of clay in modern living. The show draws on the Japanese kurinuki method, a subtractive carving of solid blocks that transforms raw material into sculptural vessels.
Beyond a conventional display, the exhibition positions handmade objects within contemporary interiors, challenging the split between utility and fine art. Each piece is presented as an object that can both inhabit and shape the spaces we occupy.
The project is rooted in the community‑building ethos of Shambhala, which seeks to connect makers with viewers beyond a marketplace. Partnering with Incept Studio, the effort also highlights emerging artists, aligning with the studio’s commitment to nurture first‑time exhibitors.
Overall, the show encourages visitors to engage with the tactile process of ceramics, emphasizing material, craftsmanship, and the everyday narratives that these works carry.
