Bygning A, Kløvermarksvej 70, 2300 København S

An exhibition on the work of the Danish textile artist and textile printer Louise Sass.

In many of the works shown, blocks of colour are overlaid to build up rich colours and bold patterns with amazing depth. In others, repeat patterns, overlaid and with shifts and changes again gain life and movement.

Films and an amazing over-head projection down directly onto a printing table explore the theories and the techniques used to create the prints.

An exhibition to mark twenty years of CLAYDIES …. the working partnership of the potters Tine Broksø and Karen Kjældgård-Larsen.

A brilliant show with all the humour and the self parody you would expect from CLAYDIES …. where else would you be encouraged to have your photograph taken behind a ceramic string vest or with your head stuck through a large ceramic ring like a horse collar?

But underneath is a very real understanding of ceramic techniques and very real skill - some of these pots are really large and must have been a headache to fire - and there is a clever and broad range of glazes exploited for different strong colours and different effects through textures. You can’t take a gentle dig at your craft unless you have mastered it completely.

This is also, of course, a brilliant dig at the selfie obsession. It’s that old fairground or end-of-the-pier seaside attraction of having your photo taken by a street photographer but with your face stuck through a hole in a picture of a very very large lady wearing a striped bathing costume next to a scrawny little husband so your face replaces hers. Here there is a patterned jumper - in clay - to stand behind or a pottery bobble hat.

With the big bold ceramics set against strong colours, this is where pop art meets pots.
