Evidence
by Tom Barnett, Sebastian Blackie and Andy Glass
Fri 26 Aug - Sun 6 Nov
The Bracknell Gallery

An exploration of what ceramic craft can be when it is used not just to create pots or static sculpture. These three artists - well known for their innovate approach to ceramics - use the Bracknell Gallery to explore their practice with great depth and delicacy. Their interests include the capacity of ceramic materials to encode social and material memories, and how ceramics may be viewed as a process-based art form, rather than traditional craft. The exhibition includes new work, video installations and deconstructive ceramics.

Opening event: Thu 25 Aug, 6-8.30pm. Exhibition is FREE and it is open Wed, Thu and Fri 7pm - 9.30pm, Sat 1pm - 5pm & 7pm - 9.30pm and Sun 1pm - 5.00pm.
