Our first film in a new series focusing on some of the world’s best emerging and established artist-makers, takes you inside the studio of Akiko Hirai in Hackney, London. Born in Shizuoka, Japan, Hirai makes sculptural vessels and functional ware using the Japanese tradition of allowing the properties of the clay to suggest how it should be fired.
‘Within.Without’ is our first Make Hauser & Wirth exhibition in Switzerland. It features multidisciplinary works by eight established artist-makers, spanning disciplines from wood, ceramic and gemstone to metal, glass and concrete.
‘Of Making and Material’ is the first US exhibition for Make Hauser & Wirth, opening in Southampton NY. The gallery showcases exceptional contemporary craft by emerging and established artist-makers from around the world.
Since 2018, the gallery has presented work by over 80 artist-makers from around the world, providing valuable insights into the working processes and rich narratives of their practices.
There is an emphasis on pieces commissioned specifically for Make, some of which are created in response to Somerset and the South West, employing locally sourced materials. All works exhibited are for sale.
To coincide with the diverse and collaborative exhibition program, the gallery hosts a number of participatory experiences including talks, workshops, residencies and community events.
