The exhibition, curated by Love Jönsson, is on view at the Rian Design Museum through April 24th.

“To me, ceramics is a language. It is a way of bringing meaning into the world through form and material. It is a methodology.

I have been making ceramics for more than 30 years. I began when I was 15, and since then, the opportunities presented by clay, glaze and firings have been an important aspect of my life. It is my primary language, as an artist and as a person.

Ceramics has taken me to other countries, built a global circle of friends and given me an anchor in life that is not attached to a place but to a material. I feel that I know people through the ceramics they create.

When I first saw one of Carl-Harry Stålhane’s vases from the 1950s in the collection of the Cranbrook Art Museum in the United States, I experienced a deep sense of kinship. I was drawn to it and wanted to understand it better. It made sense. It felt right and well-considered. And the glaze was infinitely beautiful.”

Morán Morán is pleased to present Anders Herwald Ruhwald’s first solo exhibition in Mexico City and his second with the gallery, titled This is the Living Vessel: Body. Ruhwald’s work is primarily based in ceramics, a medium he engages as both a methodology and a historical framework to process his ideas. His works traverse sculpture and utility indiscriminately, often in a contradictory and paradoxical way. The title of the show is a quote taken from The Black Mountain School poet and potter M.C. Richards’ countercultural classic, Centering, from 1964. In this book, Richards explores the poetry of humanity through the metaphor of centering – a core aspect of making pottery. Likewise, Ruhwald sees the act of making as a way of being, a way to make sense of the world. More about the exhibition here.
