In this newsletter we introduce you to our colleague in France, Anne Richard, founder, author & curator of HEY! Modern Art & Pop Culture. In 2023, she invited 30 international ceramic sculptors to HEY! CÉRAMIQUE.S her latest and current exhibition on view in Paris at La Halle Saint Pierre Museum. A specialist known for discovering new genres, graphic art and pop surrealists, Anne was inspired to curate exhibitions that highlight figural sculpture in ceramic media.
Two ambitious 2022 exhibitions Anne curated introduced internationally known sculptors from Ferrin Contemporary. HEY! LE DESSIN featured recent works by Sergei Isupov and Jason Walker in Paris and the exhibition Esprits Libres at La Fondation d’Enterprise Bernardaud in Limoges featured new works by Crystal Morey and Mara Superior. The three artists featured in HEY! CÉRAMIQUE.S are Chris Antemann, Crystal Morey, and Mara Superior.
Each of the HEY! exhibitions present multiple works by the artists introducing them to new audiences.They are each documented by extraordinary, fully illustrated publications accompanied by commissioned essays. In the current edition, Maria Porges has written about Crystal Morey, and Lauren Levato Coyne about Mara Superior.
MEET THE ARTISTS
CHRIS ANTEMANN
“Reflecting the visual and stylistic language of the 18th century, Chris Antemann’s art aims at transforming the status of the object while making parodies of social norms and taboos. Gender roles are often reversed, gestures and expressions are based on time-worn themes of passion, power and jealousy.” – curator essay by Anne Richard.
MARA SUPERIOR
“From there, [she], like many of us, sees the news, imagines the future, and find solace in the triumphant artworks of the past. She is chronicling our time, a unique and strange mix of hope in the ace of humanities greatest collective threat— ourselves.” – Mara Superior, Chronicling our Collective Hopes– essay by Lauren Levato-Coyne
CRYSTAL MOREY
“Quotations from eighteenth-century painting and sculpture, as well as from the extraordinary richness of that period’s porcelain, all come together in Pop/Surrealist figures of astonishing delicacy and beauty.”– Crystal Morey, Shaping Interconnectedness – essay by Maria Porges
Crystal Morey, RePlanting: Over the Land (Mt. Lion and Unicorn), 2022, 17.5″ h, detail.
